The Apple of my Eye turned 3

Now that you're officially 3 years old anak, I thank God for giving us the privilege to be your family. Your papa and me, your mama, alongside baby Nique will always be here for you and we'll always be together until God knows when.

Thank you Mariella for always the light whenever everything else seems gloomy
and for cheering up the whole place in our house.

Thank you Mariella for genuinely loving us in your simple yet most heartfelt gestures.
We are so proud as your parents whenever everybody cuddles and praises
how lovable and adorable you are.

Thank you little one for charming us with your talent such as dancing, singing
and you've got an inch of a mow-del my dear. Ma-ibenta nga kita, hihihi!

I pray to God that as time pass by, when you have your own life to choose,
I still wish that papa and mama can borrow a little time from you
to have a moment such as this...

And when your papa and mama is not around anymore, I pray and wish
that you and your baby sister Nique will be there for each other,
loving and supporting each other. Take care of each other and you have to be
a good older sister to Nique, ha?

With all the abundance around you, may you use it wisely and selflessly.

Soon you will learn to dream, aspire and wish on your own,
may you always call on to God for everything your heart desires and not.

And for every dream, aspirations and wishes you have in your life,
I wish and pray for it as well. Blowing candles every year on your birthday means
giving up everything to God your life each year may bring.

Happy birthday again anak!
You don't know how grateful we are your parents to have you as our child.
We are lucky that God bless you with good health, mind and body,
loving family and friends and most of all a cheerful persona that bursts with energy
day by day.
