Mother dearest, Happy Birthday!

In this most trying time of your life, we join you in seeking for God's blessing of complete healing against the Big C. He is the greatest Healer and He knows all our hearts' desires. Let us continue to believe that He has a big plan for us for He has entrusted us with a big cross to carry.

On top of this, we wish you all the happiness and love that we can bring to you, as well as all the thoughts, care and support that all your friends, family, office mates and even acquaintances can show you. For you continue to be an inspiration not just to everyone else who are burdened with the same sickness but to all of us who snap easily with the simplest non-sense inconveniences in life.

As you celebrate your 54th birthday, blow all your worries and anxieties away and let us all embrace the blessings that we see around us with great faith and trust in God. Keep in mind Mom, that you are the strongest and bravest person we've ever known. We continue to believe that we'll get thru this together as a family and we'll never ever leave you alone. We love you mom and we wish you more wonderful years to come!
