How are you? I hope that you are happy with your life now. I know you are a strong young lady. I know you can overcome the hardships that hinder your way. Do you still remember the day when your Mom had a brain tumor and had to be operated? You were left at home with your younger sister while your dad was taking care of your mother. You were just barely eight and you did the household chores by yourself. You didn't even break a single plate! When your parents came back, your Mom had amnesia. She couldn't remember you. She only remembers your younger sister. You were heartbroken. But you were patient and kind and strong and you never gave up loving and taking care of your mother. You are you. You are not a noob or a weakling.
Do you still remember the day you topped the DOST exam? All of your uncles, aunts, and cousins, even your parents, thought that you'd flunk it. They thought you'll be on the lowest section coz you're boyish, you curse a lot and most of your friends were boys. Only I, believed in you. And you really did showed them. You are smart and witty, Jan.
Do you still remember the day your parents told you that they don't have the money for your college education? You looked for a job to support yourself. You worked hard for your tuition fee and you graduated with good grades. I know you are a hardworking person and it still shows. You got that attitude from your dad.
Do you still remember the day you knew you were pregnant? You were devastated coz you weren't ready. But you faced it with courage and said goodbye to late night parties and booze and road trips and beach hoppings. All for the sake and the health of your baby. And you never ever thought of abortion. Look at you now, you are a happy mother.
Do you still remember the day when your dad passed away? You thought that God has forsaken you. You were so down. But you stood up and proved to everyone that you can take care of your family. And that YOU can handle your family's business. You sure did show them.
I just want to remind you of these beautiful qualities that you possess. You're a fine lady. And I hope you can see that too. You've been into bad times and sad times. You may have some obstacles you're struggling right now, but don't worry. Don't forget to believe in yourself. You can do anything you want.
Just don't forget to remember that I'll always be with you. Your shadow friend, your conscience, and your guardian angel. I'll always be here to remind you about the goodness in you. Just be you.
Love,
Yourself :)
