now that you're 13

I almost couldn't believe, or maybe I'm just in denial that you're already 13.  I can still remember when you were still a baby.  We're so excited and happy because you came into our lives.  But that happiness was temporarily shadowed by fear and sadness when they had to bring you at the hospital and confined you in Intensive Care Unit for infants. A lot of medical tubes and machines were put in your fragile body.   Many have prayed for your survival.  You were so loved.  We couldn't bear to see you in that condition.  We were so afraid that we might lose you anytime.  But Father God had been so good to us.  He has spared your life and allowed us to feel that joy of having you in our lives.

Growing up, we have witnessed all your kakulitans and mischiefs.  You grew up to be an active and hyper little kid.  We may have spoiled you in our own little ways but you did not become a brat.  You may have not shown it in so many ways but we knew how much you love your family.  I am positive that you will always protect your sisters Jayanne, Eiah, Nicole and Kurtney from any harm.  I just know...  

And now that you're 13 already and starting to become a young man, I just want you to know how much we love you.  You will always and forever be our Baby Lewis.  We will 101 % support you in every endeavors you will undertake just like when you competed in that Bey Blade Competition =)  Enjoy your youth and I pray that you grow up to be that kind of man Father God wanted you to be.

Happy Birthday, Lewis!
