Healing prayers for Ate Jane Natividad.
It's so ironic that it's your birthday today and you're unwell. I wish you strength and a longer life to live for yourself, husband and your beautiful little children. When I saw you last August, we had fun... shopping, eating, making kwento. Then a few weeks after, a complete twist of fate. You may not get to read this at all, but I'd like you to know that you inspire me to have a better life: because I've seen you and Kuya Brian work hard to make it happen. You're the kind of person I admire, because you work hard for things and you live fair and just... Life in another country is an entirely different endeavour, and I've seen people change for the worst because of it... But you guys really did well and became better people.
Thank you for everything--and that goes back to the the chocolate mallows you always (a never-fail pasalubong) bring at home when you visit my house, back in the day when I was still five and you were still in college to the most recent stuff you bought for me in August. Thank you for the most amazing family ties and friendship that survived generations, from your family to mine and mine to yours.
I pray for your good health and recovery. May God and his angels never leave you. I love you Ate Jane. Happy Birthday. May you have many more birthdays to come. Many, many more...

My love and healing prayers are with and for you.
