Happy 50th Birthday JOSE!!!!

Taken May 2015.

We are grateful for your 50 years here with us. Like what you said last night, you are more than blessed to reach half a decade, living a life full of excitement and adventures.

Our small family is not perfect, the four of us have this impatience amongst us. Yet we are solid as a rock built from Papang and Mamang's guidance. We do not have them anymore yet they continue to be the anchor as we sail thru the triumphs and trials. At the end of the day, love, forgiveness and understanding prevail.

At this time in my quite messy life, hearing you say your love for me knows no bounds melts my heart and provides me assurance that come hell or high water,you will be there for me.

My KOYAS who love me very much.

We are TIGHT!! Nothing and no one can break us.

Ours is UNCONDITIONAL love.

Thank you Koya for your generosity and care. Thank you for respecting me as an adult even if I am the bunso, you never imposed rules and rigidities. Thank you for allowing me to discover myself with my decisions and choices. Your quiet promise that you have my back keeps me strong and resilient.

May God bless you with His love and care abundantly. Please do know  that I will always be here for you too..no matter what.

I love you.

Melvin.50. Family.
