Birthday Message to a Dear Sister

Dear Sis,

We grew up in a family where our love for each other is hidden deep within the chambers of our hearts. We don't hug and we don't tell how much we love each other very often but during difficult times, we were always there for each other with open arms, helping hands and most importantly, forgiving heart.

I still vividly remember how you realized Papa's dream of having an owner-type jeepney. You even went the extra mile to renovate our family house that is slowly being eaten by termites. You unselfishly shared you blessings and led our family to live a comfortable life. Papa and mama must be so thankful and proud to have a daughter like you.

I know I've told you this before in one of my letters when you were still in Hong Kong but let me say it again. You are truly a GRACE in every sense of the word. You are ever so gracious and graced our family with all the good things in life. Your name fits you perfectly. Carry it with pride!

Without your inspiration, I may not be where I am now. You helped papa and mama pay my tuition fee and gave me extra allowances. You showered me with gifts and inspired me even more to study harder. I can't thank you enough for everything you've done for us.

On this special day, may you reap all the seeds of goodness you once planted. May God continue to reward you for having a generous and kind heart. I want you to know that I feel so blessed and I am deeply grateful for having a sister like you. I LOVE YOU, SIS! HAPPIEST BIRTHDAY TO YOU!

Hugs and kisses,
Cheripot
