An open letter: Happy birthday, Nanay!





Dear Nanay,

As you celebrate your 67th birthday today, I can’t help but be awed how our good Lord is truly blessing your with a good heart and health.
I am very blessed how strong you are in spite of  your senior year. Can walk fast, enjoys watching television, eats with little food limitations, take care of the household needs and rarely get sick.

It is true when they say that you only get to appreciate your mother to the fullest when you are already a mom. I knew in my heart in my growing years to date that I love and I adore you as
A mother and woman. But I love you more each day today that I am now a mother. Now I can feel your worries, sentiments, protection, care, support and love all the more. It’s a tough job to be called a mother.
The 9 months of pregnancy course had been very enjoyable and smooth with you around. I thank your support for being there for me a day before my delivery and the 3 days stay at the hospital since I delivered
Via cs section and you took good care of my daughter whole-heartily. I know very well I am loved.

I’ve never been a perfect daughter to you. I am thankful you never asked to me to be perfect. You wanted me to become ME. Grew fine. Believed in God and myself. You never, never ask any in return.

Nay, I maybe running out of words to tell the world how I love you but I will make sure that you will feel love, respected and appreciated.

I promised that your grand daughter will grew loving and following our Saviour. Remembering how you and tatay take care and love her. That she will be safe with me with God’s grace and providence.

You did a great job, nanay! Mahal namin kayo.

Maligayang kaarawan.
