An overdued post.
I've been meaning to say this, although, I could never say it right in front of her (too shy to express emotions).
Hey mummeh, I ♥ you. (:

Why? You're the strongest person I know.
Who loves your children right down to core,
with all the stress we put on you,
handling all financial means and everything else (family and business),
the roles meant for two and more, you are doing it on you own.
How you handle things may be different, may be "safe" and possibly different from how daddy would,
but we appreciate it although we do not show it, every single bit.

We wouldn't have learned if you hadn't done what you've did.

Independent as you are, you never once asked for a lot,
just love, care, respect and at least attention and recognition of deeds,
For what you have done so far, I can tell you that I've noticed all that,
and despite my needs and wants, you've given a whole lot, plus love.
I'd do my best to give you what you deserve, need and possibly want.
Being the youngest, penniless (not earned by my own two hands) less intelligent,
I'd be your driver, chaffeur, a lousy & lazy maid, your bell girl (carry all the heavy things I can at least carry with my two hands), your little best friend and overall, your daughter.

So far, I do not know what else can I do for you right now, but I'm doing my best to study hard and get grades that are good enough and learn about life at the same time.
I may be naive at my age, a slow learner,
but I hope that being with you, especially on weekends could at least get some of those street smarts rubbed onto me (Not the dirt) :D

Nevertheless, I just want to say,
for all the times
you stayed up worried when I was sick,
woke up when I wasn't home,
woke up when to feed me some medicine, water and shower me with love,
didn't wake me up when I needed my sleep (and when we had activities planned),
cleaned the house,
cleaned my trash,
fed me, clothed me, financed me,
kept me in school,
gave me advices when I need them and maybe don't need (maybe useful in the future),
and gave me life (:

So, I'm just telling you,
I'd do what I can, just to make you happy mummeh (:
And just to let you know that "you were not born to suffer",
you were born to give love, life, hope, peace, family and to be loved.

And I am amazed at all the great deeds you've done.
I may not be a strong believer of God.
But I believe that He made us alive to experience your love,
and to share it with others

Happy (belated) Birthday ♥
I hope that after reading this, you'd know how much you're sincerely, deeply appreciated. (:
