Thirteen years had
passed by , from a bubbly little baby
girl, my baby Ella is now a teenager. It seems only yesterday when I had to go
to the hospital, after walking more than a thousand steps in the mall, so that I
can have a normal delivery. I was very
excited to give birth for my firstborn with my best friend W accompanying me to
the hospital. Only to find that another friend, Lary Nel, arrived in the
hospital an hour earlier than us...(isn't he more excited than us?? heheh) My
mother-in -law, Diko Perry, Ate Miyame
and close friend E came in next in the hospital to give me the much needed
support during the labor hours... unfortunately, due to duty calls, my husband
was overseas during that time and he cannot come home. But his calls every now
and then gave me comfort during this most challenging time of my life. The labor pains continued for what seems like
eternity... until the time came for Baby
Ella to finally decided to come out...
and there she is.. the most beautiful baby I had seen.. loving her more
with unexplained mixed emotions that I cannot describe.
Little did she know
that her name came from Ariel- meaning Lion of God, and I wished from the
beginning that she will be a Godly girl, finding strength and wisdom from God. Then,
I added A in the end as last letter to make it more feminine and added the
letter M so that both of our names will start with the same letter.
Hence, on this very special day, as
you marked your thirteenth year, I thanked the Lord for a wonderful gift He had
given us
years ago.. and it is YOU ... we continuously pray that you be blessed
with knowledge and wisdom to make sound and good decisions in your teen years
ahead.. may you be continually be
blessed with good friends as you grow up..
Mariella means like this...
My
little Angel
who is always Ready to give a helping hand
and all set to Inspire others with her bright ideas
.. who is constantly Enthusiastic with life
and very Loving to her family
and friends
Someone you can Lean on
And certainly very Affectionate in her own
unique ways.
But then, I cannot hold on to time
and freeze it forever , nevertheless
always remember Ella, you will always be
our little baby.. .
Nanay and Tatay will always here to
guide you as you grow up to be a very fine young lady. We both love you so much
more than words can ever express. Just
continue to dream, strive and study very well.. we will always support you..
God bless you and keep you safe each
day, and always wishing you a great deal of happiness
and sunshine for years ahead.
Happy 13th Birthday Anak!!!
