Dear ineth,
You and I know we've known each other for 24 years now to be exact. A lot of things have changed in your life. I have witnessed all the interesting episodes as I watch you grow into a promising individual. You were a queen of your own drama and a fighter of your own battle. I've seen you laugh at formidable circumstances, cry over painful memories and danced yourself to the beat of the music.
I felt the pain when you thought of the days when you were a kid. The death of your mother left a staggering pain and the longing for a mother's touch. The unforgivable words uttered by your father left an indelible mark in your existence. The lies and deceitful eyes of your stepmother made you hate yourself for being so weak, that you were not able to defend yourself in times you knew you were right. The trust you bestowed to your brother was put into waste but still you were still forgiving. You loved him unconditionally and yet your goodness was was nothing.
The supposed-to-be-happiest-day-of-your-life (you graduated in high school with medals, you got the No.1 spot of a scholarship grant, and you graduated in college with honors) became a nightmare and you wished it didn't happen. The last strand of your wit was put into test and you decided to leave your family and friends to work in another country. All of these were mine to bear. Everything was carved to let you remember what you've been through... But nevertheless, you withstood these and took all the chances for salvation.
The solitude that you were feeling almost everyday has been the hardest thing for me to bear. I saw it in your eyes the dull glare of the sun that's slowly fading. It resembles the life force being sucked out from your being. You were sad and I knew it, but i didn't cared about it. You wanted to cry but I told you not to. You asked for my presence but I just sat in the corner and watched you grieve.I understand what you are up to and I want you to know that you are the bravest person I've met. Your deeds were astonishing to others that it came to the point you forgot to think for yourself. You are wonderful and an unselfish living creature in the planet. I will love you for what you are and I will never get tired of you.
I don't care if you grow old with age, neither do i care if you will have fine lines. Some people may think bad about you, but I will never do. You have the greatest sets of friends and I know they are lucky to have you. You love them so much that hurting them is the last thing you will do. You have a very supportive family who will be spending their lives thinking about you.
There are a lot of good things that will happen to you in the next days, weeks, months, years, decades and centuries. Never cease to remember that God has put you in that situation because He knows you can suffice all of it. Thank Him for giving you the patience and perseverance to endure everyday struggles. Thank Him for everything, may it be good or bad.
This is your day and live it, be happy because no one can take it. Smile for no reason, laugh at all cost. You have the perfect gifts.. LIFE, LOVE, FRIENDS, FAMILY and most especially another YEAR to live. The anticipation you feel in seeing your grandmother is overwhelming that I want to be there when that day comes. I'll be watching you.
Happy Birthday and may all your dreams come true...I love you daughter and will always be proud of you..
I wished i didn't die so that I can be with you today.
Just look at the star in the sky and you will see me shining on you. I will always be in your heart. NOW and FOREVER.
Always,
Mother
