My Message to my Son at His 1st Birthday

I wasn't able to read this message to him because I forgot to print it the day before his birthday. I was planning to write it down instead because of a lot of things that I have to do on the event day, I just realized that time flied so fast and here's the start of the program already coming.

I didn't had the time to write it down and read it in front of all the guests especially to BRIEL.
I am now posting it so that someday he might come across this site and read it. Here it goes.

You were given to us unexpectedly. We were shocked initially when the test results
proved to be positive. I even asked your papa to buy another test kit to verify it because
we planned to have you a year after papa and I got married because we want to be ready
enough for you to have a good beginning. But God has planned it differently.
He want you to be with us that soon.

I began to love you even before I felt you. I made sure I will deliver you safely and healthy. I stopped what i had to stop doing just because it's not good for you. Because We (papa and mama) loves you.

By the time you reached 33 weeks, you wanted to come out. But it was not safe because you might have not survived. Remember I told you during our 3-day stay in the labor room without visitors allowed just the two of us and the medical staff that you have to stay inside my womb for few more weeks and help me stop the contraction? We even both pray to God that He will help us stay safe, and Yes we did! After 10 days of fighting, Yes we did it!

On your almost 40th week, 2 days before your 40th week to be exact, You came out healthy.. I even saw you at the delivery room.. Tears rolled down my eyes.. Those tears of joy when I saw you. Papa and your lolo and lola even saw you taking your first bath at the nursery room.

Just then we promised you.. We will give all our best to make you become a good child and eventually a good man by teaching you what God's want you to become. For we know in His hands you will become a boy that we all love.

Now at One, we wish you to continue make us laugh. As you grow, be respectful to others. Be friendly to all children for God loves you all. We wish you to become a child that respect the fact that God created everybody with equal rights. And most of all the only wish I want us to become even though you weren't with us yet is I want us
to be best friend forever! Dapat ako lang ang first best friend mo. I wish you could see me later on as a cool mom. Dont be afraid to share with me your thoughts and ideas.
Even your first crush... Whatever God has planned for you, whatever path He wants you to
go thought, papa and mama is always at your back supporting you.

We love you so much...

Love,
Mama and Papa
