Time had stolen you from me, you grow up emotionally and mentally faster than i could take. I keep wondering where is that baby i first held in my arms- which taught me to be possessive protective and brave at the same time. Knowing that i am going to have you is pure joy to me.
The thought of norturing another life inside me scare me a lot, but your daddy has been with me to share the burden and joy of seeing you slowly grow.
Thinking about those times still make me shed some tears until today. The first time you held my hand made me realize fully that everything i am doing from that time is not just for me but most importantly for that little hand that tightly hold my finger. You have fully awakened my sense of responsibility.
I always thanked the good Lord for allowing me to be your mother. And i am glad that you grow up into a fine young boy, a selfless and loving brother.
While boys your age wish to have something or to be someone grand, you wished that your brother will get better and can talk. Dont worry God hears your prayer and wishes and in time Raph will get better.
Just continue to be patient and his keeper.
Every birthday that you celebrate makes me realize that you are slowly becoming yourself and it makes me sad. But come to think of it, you have your own identity since you are born.
You just borrorwed some time and strength from us to help and guide you.
Maybe i am just growing old and i missed the inquisitive toddler who never stops asking questions until his curiousity is satisfied. The memory of your childhood is safely locked in my heart. And most of the time when i felt really alone i just get back to them and they never failed to bring me a lot of real smile.
We love you so much, YOU, Raph and Leian is the meaning of life and the best gift i could ever recieve. Grow up to be a fine person but never lost the child in you.
HAPPY Twelfth Birthday Justin, our first born. May God continue to bless you with goodhealth, a kind, humble and happy heart.
