"Even if nobody would love you Mommy, I would love you forever."

She's always been the sweetheart amongst the three. I have been blessed with three beautiful daughters, and I am not really sure what I did right to deserve them.

THE BIRTHDAY GIRL, ANDREI

It's Andrei's birthday today, and being the middle child, she has always been the different one. But I refuse to accept that there is such a thing as the blacksheep of the family. They say if you are the middle child the role is yours for the taking. I should know. I am the middle child, the 3rd of 5 siblings, and yes, I have lived up to everyone's expectations. I caused everyone multiple headaches, but I could also honestly say, I didn't turn out so bad. Right ma?

So today, I am dedicating this entry to my birthday princess.

Dear Andrei,

You are too young to read and too young to understand, but I want to give you a gift that you can use for the rest of your life. I may not be able to give you the entire Disneyland for your playground, but do know that Mommy loves you so much. I promise to do everything in my power to protect you. Yes, I will try my best not to die too! I can see horror in your eyes if you see me smoking, or sick, and it says it all. You are scared of losing me.

On that note, you are not allowed to smoke, EVER! Cos I am your Mommy and I said so.

Baby, I am not perfect. Nobody is. People make mistakes all the time. You will make mistakes. Everyone around you will at one point be disappointed in you, and you will disappoint people. But it is okay. That's how life is.

I have made this life blog for you and your sisters. So that I can somehow immortalize myself (sort of). Just in case I won't live long enough. Not as long as you would want me to, at least. Believe it or not, life is short. And nobody is certain when the universe will take back the life you and I are enjoying now.

So, I want you to live. I want you to do what you want. Don't let people dictate your beliefs, your principles, and your dreams. It's yours. Fight for it. Live it. Be who you want to be. Don't let anyone stop you. For as long as you don't deliberately hurt people and you know what is right and wrong, go for it!

Most importantly, believe in something. Believe that there is higher power, someone or something bigger than all of us. Believe that you can change the world. Believe in love and never stop searching for it. Give love with all your heart but not to a point where people hurt you.

Protect yourself at all cost. Sure let your walls down for people you trust, but leave some for yourself.

You will someday understand what Mommy is talking about.

You have always been the understanding and sweet daughter. Your sisters are part of you. Always protect each other and be there for each other. Sure you will fight, like how Mommy used to fight with Nanay, Mama, Yaya, and Yoyo all the time. But when times get tough, they will be there for you without second thoughts.

Express your thoughts. Be vocal about your opinions but be tactful. Mommy has a problem with tact every once in a while, and I promise you, it does get ugly sometimes. Learn from mommy's mistakes, but never be afraid to make your own. For what is life if you are not willing to take risks?

And remember most of all, that whatever happens, wherever this life takes us, whatever the situation may be, MOMMY WILL ALWAYS LOVE YOU. NO MATTER WHAT.

Enjoy your 6th My Baby Princess. May God keep you always.

All My Love,
