For listening to the unspoken words
For staying when others opted to leave
For loving me more when I was at my worst
For praying for me tirelessly
For sobbing when I am on the verge of tears
For wanting to fight for me with all the gut-wrenching voicemails
For assuring me of your loyalty
For making time for me always despite the time zone difference
For saying the words that I needed to hear even if they hurt
For encouraging me to stay strong
For respecting my decisions in the end
For caring for me, with no ifs and buts
For laughing with me no matter the hardships
FOR LOVING ME AS YOUR DANDA.
Thank you. Thank you my dearest Ate Tonette.
No matter how my heart echoes betrayal lately, it still beats flutters of gratefulness and hope because of you. No matter how the public perceives how bad_ss I am, your care and love makes me feel I must have done something good anyhow, to deserve a kind-hearted yet fierce, selfless yet strong, humble yet courageous woman like you to be my friend and sister.
Happy birthday Ate. You deserve much love, joy, prosperity, peace of mind and care.
I love you so much. Until we see each other soon.
Cheers to the world!!!!
Ate Tonette. Sister. Real.
