All grown up

I remember the weekend that I went home for your birthday. First time I saw you girls, I felt so proud. You both grew up to be lovely, lovely girls. And the bonding moment we had that night felt so special. I don't think a lot about missing you guys when I am here in Singapore because I refuse to dwell on sad thoughts. But during that time when we were all hugging, I was very happy. I just had to thank God for making it possible for me to be there, for giving me such wonderful sisters.

And now... this weekend is such an eye opener for me. I realized you girls are all grown up now! Really growned up, dealing with real life issues. You're not my babies anymore! And seeing this side of you made me feel prouder than ever. I think you both have the right values to be honestly good people and I pray that you would keep those values intact, as you struggle with the challenges you have to go thru. You'll make more happy memories, deal with sad and painful ones, but everything will make you better and stronger.

I may be far away, but you girls are always in my thoughts. I am always here for you. Never forget that. I am very happy that I can consider you as my friends, but not as proud as I am to be your ate.
