Excited and anxious... and really wishing you were here and be proud of me...

Dear Mama,

You know my book is coming out. You also know that I will be giving a talk next month, Mama. And a lot of other things to do... and another one that will be coming soon. I just do not know if it will happen or not.

But through all these Mama, at the back of my mind is the question, "Why are all of these happening now when you're no longer here?"

You could have been proud of me, Mama. You could have been...

I just hope that you are, Mama. Everytime you look down on me, I hope I make you smile and proud.

Take care of yourself, Mama.

I miss you.

I love you, Mama.


Daddy
