Thank you, Dad and Mom, for letting me see life through your lenses!

Parent are the channels through which a new life is introduced. From the day of conception to the day of delivery, the journey becomes adapting, developing problem-solving skills, attachment, etc.

To you Mom — During this period of anticipating me, you experienced loss of appetite, fatigue, spitting, frequent need for food, etc. and after you had me, your demands and needs changed.

You gradually experienced a change in body form and structure which you had to deal with for a very long time.

To you Dad — Such sacrificial stages of life from you, just to see that I existed. You introduced me to your world to share in it with you, oh your love is immeasurable!

Always filling in perfectly, the role of a provider, a protector and a guardian.

I want to express my deepest love and gratitude for everything you’ve done for me as your son. I’m truly blessed to be a seed from you Dad and Mom.

I am more grateful that you gave me the passage to discover my path and witness life to make my own story and build a know how of my existence in old age.

The moments we have shared, be it big and small celebrations, your teaching in love introduced me to my everyday living and lifestyle, shaped me and gave me structure until I evolved into who I am today.

What a beautiful future you have created for me. Your love is the guiding light.

Thank you for your guidance and unending belief in me.
