"A mother is the truest friend we have, when trials heavy and sudden, fall upon us; when adversity takes the place of prosperity; when friends who rejoice with us in our sunshine desert us; when trouble thickens around us, still will she cling to us, and endeavor by her kind precepts and counsels to dissipate the clouds of darkness, and cause peace to return to our hearts." ~Washington Irving
Today, for me is the most important day of my life. I will not be known as Luther Ian Lim Garcia if it weren't for this day. This is the most important day simply because 51 years ago, Mary Gumpal Lim-Garcia, was born. I really don't know how her life started but all I know is that if it wasn't for her, my life won't.

I maybe a male version of her but she is far better than me. I've seen her doing almost everything for our family. If there will be a counterpart of Clark Kent in real life, I would proudly nominate her to be one. (And I know every good child will say the same thing. :D ) It is really hard for me to leave her on her most important day. It is really hard for me to leave her anytime of the day.
To you, the most important woman in my life. I do not when will you be able to read this. I do not know if there is a chance that your eyes will glance at this. But all I know is that I owe everything to you. You have been, for the past 51 years, and will always be a blessing to all the people that you've met and that you will meet soon. This is the first time that you will wake the next morning without your eldest. This will be the first time that I have left you while you're celebrating your natal day. And this is the first time that I made you sad during the most important day of your life. It is really hard for me to do this but believe it or not, this is all for you and papa. You may not be able to understand everything but soon you will. I will make everything clear for both of you soon. I know that you love me so much that is why you hate seeing me getting tired or even losing weight for the right purpose just because you feel that I am already undernourished. You will always be my inspiration. You will always be the fire that keeps my flame burning. And you will always be the most important woman of my life. Happy birthday! And always keep this in your heart, "You are the wind beneath my wings."
