Dear Monica, From the day you were born, you’ve brought immense joy into our lives with your playful spirit and an abundance of thick black hair. Your cheerful nature and beautiful hair made everyone adore you. Oh, how you could talk—and still do! You’ve always been the light of our family, spreading joy and laughter wherever you go. Your determination and kindness have been evident since childhood—always quick to help and never shy to speak your mind. Whether ensuring things were done right or supporting your siblings, you’ve always been dependable. One of my proudest moments was watching you navigate life gracefully, especially during challenging times, like managing everything after your father’s sudden passing. I remember how admirably you balanced studying and motherhood as a young mother in a foreign country. I’m also grateful for your generosity toward the family; you’ve always been there for your siblings without hesitation. Your compassionate nature, coupled with practical wisdom, has made you an amazing daughter, a great wife, and a wonderful mother. As you step into this new chapter, I want you to know how proud I am of the woman you’ve become. May your 50th year be filled with as much happiness and fulfillment as you’ve brought to all of us. God bless you! Love, Ma 10 The Birthday Journal
