.. loove you mom.
For My Grown-Up Daughter
it seems like yesterday
I tucked you in at night,
whispering a prayer of thanks
for another day of
having you in my life.
Not so long ago,
we were putting your baby teeth
out for the tooth fairy,
and reading storybooks
until you feel asleep in my arms.
It felt as though
you grew overnight
into a beautiful young lady.
Today, Daughter,
I see you reaching out to people,
showing that one person
can make a difference in this world.
And what a difference you’ve made!
I know my life could never have been so
full and complete without you being
such an important part of it.
I’ve watched the difference you’ve made
in the lives of others as well.
You have a very special gift
that inspires people to be
the best they can be.
I’m so proud of all that you do,
and I hope you’ll never forget that
I love you with all my heart!
Anak, may this Mother’s Day make you realize how quickly time passes by, as I have. You and I missed out on a lot of things. How I longed to hear about your first crush, your best friends and your little secrets. I know it’s past but it will forever haunt me. I prayed to God always that He shield your heart from getting hurt. I’m sorry for not being there for you….I love you, Anak.
