A Letter to our Wonder Girl

I fell in love with you the moment I first laid my eyes on you. Being the only girl in my family growing up, I remember asking God for a baby sister. Never happened so instead I told myself that once I am in my early 20's I'll get married and have a baby. Still hasn't happened! Then you came. It came as a surprise to me when your mother/ my sister announced that she was pregnant. I thought to myself, "Be still my heart!" I was filled with so much joy that I even started jumping around.

You are an absolute dream to me. I love everything about you. We all do. I vowed to love you and be the best Tita to you. Dear Hazel girl, I pray that you'll live your life with excitement everyday. Now that I'm moving I just want you to know that wherever I'll be you will always be part of me. I'll be thinking of you every single day. I promise to buy you your favorite items from different parts of this world. You are a beautiful, stunning and smart little girl. Never will a day come when I will find myself doubting you. I believe in you. I am blessed to know that God has blessed you with two great loving parents who are willing to provide you with everything you need. I'll miss your presence the most. I'll miss playing with you and watching beauty videos with you. It's funny how even at a young age you do not mind watching beauty tutorials with me. Haha.

You are going to school next year! You do your best okay? I'll be with you in every step of the way. I'm sorry if I will not be celebrating your birthday this year. How sad that my flight is only a few days before your birthday. Still, I'm glad I was able to celebrate your two other birthdays with you. I pray for constant protection over your life. I also pray that once you reach your teens, you'll seek God's heart. Obey your parents at all times. Listen listen listen and most importantly humble yourself. I cannot wait for the great things you'll experience in this life.

Your smile, laughter and cute giggles are what I'll miss most about you. I know that I am probably talking a lot about how I'll miss you but it is because I really will. I know that i'll be seeing you soon after I leave but it is still different knowing that you are across the country from me. It'll be okay. I'll be okay *cries* I love you Hazel. We love you. You are the best thing that's ever happened to me and to us. You have brought so much colours to my life. You are an ultimate blessing in every way. I will love you forever. You will always be in my heart.

- Love Tita Hannah
