Ma, wherever you are, I just want you to know that I miss you so much. And I feel really sorry for not being there with you on your last days here on earth. It still breaks my heart every time I think of that moment. But I know you understand. Thank you for everything Ma. I know the last 11 years of your life wasn't easy but you stayed with us until you're sure that we're all okay and we can take care of ourselves. I remember when you got sick for the first time, that was on New Year's eve - January 1, 1998, I begged God to let you stay with us because we were so young then. And He answered my prayer. He let you stay for 11 more years. Sometimes I feel like I was being selfish when I made that request because I know those 11 years was difficult for you Ma but you persevered all the odds just to be with us. Thank you for all the sacrifices you made for us. Your strength and your zest for life will always be an inspiration to me and one that I will pass on to my children.
I love you Mama and happy birthday again! And please extend my birthday greetings to Lola Tentay who's up there in heaven with you. I know the angels are throwing a party for the two of you so enjoy it! :)
