A sweet letter from my Mama
I was about to type something for my Nihongo class tomorrow until i found a file that suddenly caught my attention to read it.
Dear GRACE,Happy Birthday…. You’re 18 now, and I’d be fooling myself if I imagined the girl that you are now, sometimes soft and loving, at others fierce and scowling. I hope you’ll be courageous, seize opportunities, and be more responsible.I imagine you then surrounded by adoring suitors. And now you have Miguel. Be good to her and take care of her Miguel ok? Don’t rush…… you don’t always believe it, but often as I want to say it I only want what’s best for you.But whatever I want for you, I know you’ll go your own way. It’s traditional for daughters not to listen to their mothers, not till much later, like me…J So even if I remind you of the day you decide to make your own decisions what I really know is that you’ll have to be independent, and follow your own dreams. But however independent you become, don’t forget, whenever you need me, I’ll be there. If your heart is broken, or your workload is too heavy, or if you are consumed with worry that Nothing is ever going to Happen in your Life, please come to me and share your burden and I’ll remind you how we hold a bit of everything inside ourselves, weak and strong, and that as a child, although you still often woke in the dead of night and needed to be comforted.God Bless, be happy and as I always tell you and remind you…Do not be in a hurry because life is so beautiful so enjoy it to the fullest…Happy Birthday Anak… I may not say this as often as I say it to Tintin but I love you both with all my heart and I will do anything for both of you….I may not be the best mother but I will always be your best friend for life…
LOVE,MAMA
Awww. I was stunned, speechless, dumbfounded or whatever term you may want to call it. But really, i got teary-eyed. :') This was maybe a birthday note from my mom which i haven't read for almost 2 months already. I didn't actually know about this. Maybe Mama thought that i'd be able to read this on the actual day of my birthday or maybe a week before but then i didn't. I should have read this earlier. Huhu.
Thank you for the love Ma! Thank you for the trust. I know i often don't take serious actions when it comes to family matters but then i assure you that i always listen to your side. I love you Mama, thank you. :')
