Letter – Ailyn's Lines

Adrianne.
Youre turning seven. How fast is that!
As i am thinking about it, seven years was swift and you are growing swiftly too. As of now i cant wrap my head around it yet. I love you immensely and ardently, ad. You came unexpectedly and i never knew i needed you this much nor did i know i would be able to give this much love to somebody. I always tell you how much i love you literally everyday. You say 'i love you' back but when there are times that you dont immediately do, i persistently ask for it. And as you grow you become more shy in saying it back, sometimes more like a whisper and oftentimes now just to shut me up when i annoyingly ask for it. Know that i will always, always be here for you. I am striving hard to be successful so i could give you things and make memories with you that i could not have when i was younger. I will not permit myself to pressure you to be someone you do not desire nor to something you do not want. I will be here to watch and guide you through the paths that you will have to take. You can lean on me when times are tough for you. You can ask me anything when you wander about things you dont know. You can hug me tightly when you feel lost. You can share your awful jokes with me or even your awkward dance moves. I will never get tired of listening to your stories. I will keep your drawings as long as i can. We can ride on the rainbow of imagination and draw and talk about things only we can comprehend. I will always laugh on your baboy kasanon sunbathing on the seashore.
I love you very much, my love Adrianne.
Life is so much bearable with you.
