dearest lil' ading of mine,

i have always wondered how it is to have a real lil' sister... and God gave me the closest thing to it... you... i mean, i know i have a lot of "adings"... but you are the prayer answered to my wishes... babygirl, i love you so much... and i thank the Lord for giving me that missing jigsaw piece to the puzzle of my heart... i still have a lot more jigsaws to fit in, but you were the piece i've been looking for such a long time... and boy, the search was irritating, hehe... =) i thank you for being the candle light among the darkness... though the pitch blackness kept me afraid, your glimmer penetrated some courage in me. thank you for making me feel tall... haha... j/k. well, seriously. your love for me made me feel 10 feet taller. thank you for making me realize the things i should look forward to in life... ading, you're that lil' girl i'll never get tired of seeing. well... haha, trick. i wish i could always express to you how much i care about you, sista... but i know, the best way is just being there for you... it's funny how we met each other just last july... and yet, i feel like you've been a part of my life for ages. i am looking forward to upcoming chapters in your book, ading... i can't wait to see you grow (unfortunately, not physically) into a beautiful and responsible woman. i can't wait to see the family that will have a loving mother and loyal wife. i can already see our families at a picnic party in poway lake, just chillin' and me cooking bbq for us. i could already envision my kids hugging their auntie trisha, asking for candy or money... you're a blessing to me... and i know i already said it like a million times, but i really love you. it makes me enthralled to see you being a blessing to other people. your have touched a lot of your friends' hearts, and you are the angel sent to your parents from God. haha, that's why it started raining on your debut; it showed san diego that the 18th anny of an angel (coming down from heaven) was being celebrated... =) and ading, you an angel to me. heaven is placed in your eyes. i'm also relieved that you have a boyfriend who i can trust. haha... one reason is because he's like a bro to me... another is 'cuz i know he has a lotta love for you. i am fortunate to be a part of your unfinished book. i am fortunate to know a lot of the people in there, too.

i have so many things to tell you, but i have to save my words for the upcoming events in our travel... i will always walk by your side, trisha. never forget that... i will be there to guide you through trials and tribulations, but i won't always pick you up and carry you through problems... for i know your heart is strong enough to face them. i pray (and i know) the beautiful rose i see in the garden of God will never wither and lose moisture. much love to you...

with all my heart,
kuya gerard
