The Universe of Thoughts

To Infinity and Beyond

on this day, 22 years ago,

two bodies had became one soul through the wedding vow. they promised each other to be there for better or for worse, for richer, for poorer, in sickness and in health, till death do them part. to be a good parents to their kids. to be together no matter how hard it would take.

March, 19 years ago,

their first ever daughter was born. they might not ready yet to be a parents. but there they were, standing strong and convincing everyone that they could do well.

January, 13 years ago,

their lovely son was born. this time they stood stronger. they were sure that they could raise their children well. no matter how hard the circumstances was that time.

dear mom and dad,

happy 22th wedding anniversary. it was a hell of a ride, wasn't it? but you kept your promise to be together till death do you part. i've been in your life for (approximately) 20 years and i'm thankful. thank you for giving birth to us, thank you for raising us with love, thank you for teaching us many good things, thank you for showing us this whole beautiful world, thank you for everything you've done to us. if there's a word that is more than thank you, i'd gladly say it to you because i think i could never thank you enough.

if i were asked about what makes me grateful, i would gladly answer, being your daughter. being in this family is what makes me grateful. you're the reason why i'm holding on this far. you're the reason why i'm still here, breathing, and trying to be strong. you're the answer to all my unanswered questions. you're the guard to my self-fortress. you're the peanut to my butter. you're the sea to my shore. you're the sun to my solar system. you're everything that i need. if reincarnation were real, i would still choose to be your daughter in my next life.

i may not be a perfect daughter. i'm not that daughter you can brag about because i've done nothing in my 19 years of life. i'm not that daughter with bunch of certificates, trophies, medals, and so on. but i hope you don't mind. i'm still trying my best to be the best daughter of yours because you're the best parents ever to me.

dear mom and dad,

be happy. be with me as long as you can. be healthy. may God gives you a joyful life ahead. thank you for not giving up eventhough you may have lots of reason to. thank you for always holding on eventhough sometimes everything seems unbearable. thank you for showing me how the world actually looks like. thank you for that beautiful and pure heart of yours. thank you for being my parents.

let's hold on to another 22 years, or even to the infinite amount of times. just like what buzz lightyear said, "to infinity and beyond."

once again, happy 22th wedding anniversary.

sincerely,
your all time baby girl.
