🌷| Nang isilang mo ako, itinaya mo na ang iyong sarili sa isang malaking responsibilidad. Napuyat sa paghehele, napangiti sa una kong salita, at napaluha sa bawat tagumpay na nakamit nang kasama kita.

Sa aking unang kaibigan, katsismisan, katabi sa pagtulog, tagagising sa umaga, kayakap sa bawat pagsubok, pati na rin sa iba pang mga humubog ng aking pagkatao, para sa inyo ang araw na ito. Isang pagpupugay sa sakripisyo ng mga ilaw ng tahanan. Taglay niyo ang liwanag na tatanglaw sa aking kinabukasan. Mahal na mahal ko po kayo!

Gawing espesyal ang araw na ito sa pag-share at pag-tag ng inyong mga nanays.
