Dear Anika,
"Delight yourself in the Lord and He will give you the desires of your heart." (Psalm 37:4)
Happy birthday Nika! You are now three years old and you continue to amaze me. I'm writing to you today to honor you as this is part of our way of life that we want you to embrace as well in the future.
First of all I'd like to honor you for being a source of joy to us. You make us so happy and you make us laugh as well. As young as you are, you already possess a very good sense of humor. I wonder where you got it? I love the sound of your laughter, it is so infectious. Despite your "kakulitan", you never fail to delight us.
Second, I'd like to honor you for your sweetness. You are very affectionate and you are not afraid to show us your love through your actions. You always surprise me with a kiss on my hand, a peck on my cheek and a big bear hug. When I cry, you always look at me with sympathetic eyes as if you are saying, "Mama it's ok, I am here." I love it when you put your arms around me when we sleep or when you hold my hand when we're watching a movie.
Third, I'd like to honor your for your teachability. You have a very sharp mind because you are so open to learn new things. You get so excited about new learnings. Last Friday, I was teaching you about constellations and your were jumping up and down whenever I point to you a new formation of stars. Also because of your teachability you are becoming more and more independent. You already know how to put on your clothes and even your shoes. I am so confident that you can survive the world when it's time for you to swim on your own.
Lastly, I would like to thank you for being my best friend. You are not only my daughter but my best friend as well and I will always be thankful to God for you. You are God's gift to us and you will always be our baby even if you are 40.
Love you always and forever,
Mama
