Jamipot,

Happy, Happy Birthday! and I just want you to know that Ate loves you so much. I am so ever proud of you for accomplishing so much in such a short time, and a Chemist for that.

I just truly wish that God will grant the deepest desires of your heart and that you will find strength and comfort in Him alone. I wish I could have been physically there, through your toughest times and your joyful peaks. I wish I could have been physically there, to share those moments of gloom and heartbreak, and those moments of victory and happiness. I wish Mom & I never had to leave. I wish Mom had enough courage to forgive. I wish Dad had enough willingness to fulfill his responsibilities and get back on his two feet. I wish our family was never broken. But life has dealt us with these cards, and sadly, it’s up to us to make the most of it. It has been up to us to pick up the broken pieces, to see and to create in them something new. And I’m glad. I’m glad you have played your cards well, and you have beautifully painted your pieces, enough for you to succeed and be happy. You deserve all the love and happiness in this world can offer. I love you so much Sissy, and don’t ever for a second think, that I never or don’t.

Love,

Ate Mai
