Happy Birthday, Bu!

Tomorrow should have been your 22nd birthday . I did not plan on giving you something, probably money na lang so you can buy what it is you want. Sabi naman ni Ate Weng, she was planning to give you a branded blouse, you liked one daw kasi when were shopping together a few months ago. By the way, Raia had a simple birthday celebration last Sunday, just the way we planned it. She missed you, we missed you. Your daughter was happy, I’m sure even if you’re nowhere in sight you’re in her heart…we greeted her “happy 2nd birthday”, kissed and hugged her for you. We all hope you’re happy.

Bu, you were like my twin sister, only, I was nine years older hehe! Pero we always celebrated our birthdays together. Never did I imagine of having my birthday without you. You were so young…I was looking forward to more and more birthday celebrations with you. We may not be the closest sisters, probably because of the age gap, but I love you no less. I just hope I was able to show or let you feel how much I love you and care for you.

Just a few weeks ago, my heart bled as I sign your death certificate, I should have been signing your birthday card, it was so painful…pero…well, I guess God has other plans…it's just so hard to accept, to understand... I hope you heard me when I whispered words into your ear during your last breaths…Bu, worry no more, we will all take good care of your daughter…Thank you for the life you shared with us. Thank you for bringing Raia into this world. Thank you for being my “twin sister”. I love you, Bu! Happy Birthday. Rest in eternal peace with our God. You are loved. You will surely live in our hearts.
