"Mom, look..." my daughter call me, "the moon is beautiful, isn't it?" She asked. I smiled while looking at the beautiful moon.

"I love you more, baby." I answered.

"Po? Mom, sabi ko po ang ganda ng moon oh."anito habang naka pout.

"I know, baby." I said and force to smile at her, "Baby? Always remember that mommy loves you so much, okay?"

"I know, mom. I love you so much din po." She said and hug me. I want to cry pero ayokong makita niya akong umiiyak.

"Mom? Can I sleep? I'm so tired na po." Anito sa pagod na boses.

No, baby, please don't sleep. Don't leave mommy.

"A-Are you really t-tired, baby?" I asked and she nodded.

"O-Ok then. Y-You can sleep now, baby. H-happiest birthday." Kinagat ko ang labi ko para pigilan ang pagluha.

She smile at me and she slowly close her eyes.

This is her last day. Last birthday. Our last bonding.

At the very young age, nagkasakit siya ng brain cancer.

She can't fight for her life. Hindi niya kaya. Sana... sana ako nalang.

"R-Rest in peace, m-my dear daughter." I sobbed.
