To Our Dearest Aunt,

Congratulations! You have made it again. You lived to put another candle on top of your cake. Don’t say that your cake is almost full. That is not true, you just need a bigger cake. Don’t you know that each lighted candle represents a blessing from God?

We all want to wish you a very Happy, Happy Birthday. We wish you most of all a good health together with your family. May God continually bless you for you have such a kind and big heart especially for those in need.

We also want to thank you for always reaching out to your family even if you are a thousand miles away from us. You never did leave us even if you are so far away, for a part of your heart remained with us. You continue to hold on and never did let go.

So, c’mon, wipe your tears away. This is not a time to be sad. Smile, and be happy. Bring out your cake; light every candle on top of your cake for they are your life’s trophies. But most of all, as you blow your candles, don’t forget to make a wish, utter a prayer as you celebrate your special day today.

Again, Happy Birthday.

We love you,

Your Family back home.
