for my world's number one nanay

today, you celebrate your 57th birthday.

i must say, you are my inspiration. you remain strong despite the trials that you had hurdled and which you will still hurdle.

i want to thank you for imbibing in me the value of compassion, that money and logic is nothing compared to love and charity. i thank you for always looking after my welfare. i thank you for making me feel important, such as when you cried buckets of tears when i had to go and study in baguio. i thank you for the countless times you made me feel secure. i thank you for feeding me well (you are the best cook ever). i thank you for devoting your life to us, your family.

i remain your number one fan. i will fetch you at the airport tomorrow. see you soon nay.

i love you and happy birthday.
