have i told you lately that i love you? oh, yeah probably a couple of billion times today.
you fill me with so much happiness. it's wonderful.
you made me understand the words content and satisfaction. with your head resting on my chest while you look so secured sleeping. it makes me feel that nothing else in this world is more important than being there for you.
i love you, anak. so much that i feel scared sometimes.
you seem to be growing up too fast. way too fast for this poor mother to put her head around. you are bursting out of your clothes. i suddenly notice the absence of creases and wrinkles on your hands, arms, skin. you are a big girl now.
you brighten each morning with your adorable toothless grins. your coos and grunts in exchange for when mommy and daddy say good morning. you are the perfect way to start the day. and i wish to remember these days for as long as i live.
thank you for being such a happy and easy baby. i wish i never had to work so i can spend the whole day with you. so i can feel you aimlessly reach for my face when you are just about ready to fall asleep.
oh, how i love you anak.
the future looks so bright now that you are here. i sometimes feel scared that this might just be a really beautiful dream and that when i wake up the next morning, you won't be around. but God has been really great, and each morning, there you are next to me, ready with a big sweet smile.
i really, really love you, andi.
mommy really, truly, absolutely loves you. [ and of course, daddy too.
