My Valentines,
Its been a grueling month, with me working 10-12 hours everyday, and through all that time the only thing that continues to make me smile are the people in my life that continue to understand and comfort me even when I am so irritable and so unreasonable sometimes. My life was never a normal one, and to be fair I don't think anyone has a textbook life, yet I know that in this world where we all must do the best that we can I was blessed with the best of the best, when I feel like some friends are letting me down, there are those whom I hold dear, they continue to support and love me unconditionally.
To my forever valentine Natasha who would have to be the most patient and understanding daughter that I have ever met. You teach me so much about maturity and patience and unconditional love. You have loved me through the toughest moments and continue to show me unwavering patience even when I am being a pain. This month has been tough, and yet again I am learning that when times are tough only those that are your real friends will stick with you. You have been with me through the toughest decisions and the worst of the worst and you weathered through like the strong young lady I prayed you would be. I thank god that even with my mistakes he gave me a daughter like you, because you truly do make life worth living. I always marvel at your determination and strength. Know that no matter what you have me and in this world I will always be in your corner without exceptions. There is always you and I and forever is never long enough to describe the love and the bond that will always hold us together. My daughter how can I put to words the tremendous joy that I hold in my heart for you. The sheer delight in just being around you, and how can I ever thank you for the love you give me. So mature even at a young age. I love you my baby, those words fail in comparison to what I hold in my heart for you.
My husband, what can I say, we got through despite the storm, our love continued to prevail, and we are stronger now than ever, despite everything that anyone has ever tried, and yes I will always have your corner too. I once prayed for a man with integrity and strength, one whose word is true and his heart real, where loyalty and trust go hand in hand, and you surpassed all that and more, how lucky am I?
For appreciating me always, and for being there no matter what, I love you. Thank you for showing me that I am worth more and that no one has the right to take advantage of me. Thank you for teaching me how to be a better person each and everyday. Thank you for understanding me when I am being so unreasonable. Our dreams are coming true one by one. I remain humble of the love you give me. Everyone is asking how do I know its you? I tell them its because of who you are, that in itself is vast in entirety. It isn't just that you are the one, instead it is the fact that you will always be the only one. This is the perfect day to let you know how grateful I am to have you in my life, and at the same time let you know just how much I love you, but then each and everyday you show me just how much you love me and I grow deeper in love with you each day also. So let this be the day when we can celebrate not just our love for each other but the love we have for everyone around us.
To my mother for guiding me and for loving me always. For my sister for being an inspiration, now I understand you better, because now I am beginning to walk your path, its tough and hard and sometimes its lonely but it pays off when you are able to give your child what she/he needs. I understand Atche! For my niece, still one brilliant young lady, who continues to be such an asset to our family. For my brother in-law for reminding me what I should look for. For my friends from Kuya Alino to Dee, thank you for the phone call, see you soon sister. To those who I forgot to name and to you who reads this now.
Happy Valentines Day
