Happy 13th birthday my love! My life!

I am so blessed that God gave me you!

You are the reason why I always work hard every day with your papa. We want to give you a good future and fulfill all your needs in life. Even if we don't have a lot of money or a big house to live in, we feel that we are rich with love from you and your sweet smile relieved our tiredness and sadness.

All I wish for you is Good health and more patience with everything that happens in our life. Always have faith in God and continue to be good, life brings us a lot of challenges to learn and a reason to stay strong no matter what happens in our lives.

Today is your birthday!

I went to the supermarket this afternoon to buy a cake and I choose Goldilocks because not just only delicious but also at a cheaper price. Her class ended at 11 am so I picked her up after I go to the mall. She worried that maybe many of her classmates will come and she is aware that we only have a small budget for the celebration so I make sure that she will not bother. I bought 2 packs of chicken Lechon for additional food.

Her favorite desserts are macaroni salad and cake. I put all this on a table before her classmates arrive and I didn't find it hard to do all this because it is just a small but I know she appreciated all my efforts. She gets nervous when her friends that they are already on their way to our house, our home is very small and only 3 of us can be fitted. When they arrived, they go directly into the singing a happy birthday song. My daughter was very much happy and she was about to cry with so much excitement.

I didn't expect that they are too many, but gladly they enjoyed staying inside our home and the food was enough. I saw the smile and laughter that she has that moment and it was her first time celebrating her birthday by bringing her classmates into the house. they talked, laughed, and teased each other. I really admired these kids showing love and good relationship with each other.

I hope I got them full and satisfied with the food I reserve for all. I am happy to see my daughter's satisfaction with all I've done on her special day.

My thoughts,

No matter how small or big you prepare for the occasion, if it is coming from the heart everything will be done with a good result. It is not about the foods we displayed on the table but about the people around us who can give good and happy memories.

Thanks for reading!
