Dear Alex,

Kumusta ka na? It's been quite long years na wala ka. Namiss kita. You came into my dream the other night. Tumaba ka...yet you still wear the same smile...with your cute dimples. You haven't changed. You're still as good-looking as ever. I was a bit surprised when i saw you in my dream, it happened to me very seldom. Little did i realize that your birthday is approaching. Nagpapaalala ka pala. Of course you are always in my heart!

It's your birthday today. I know you have a grand celebration there...more than we know. Medyo tanda ka na rin pala but i'm sure you still possess that same handsome look that every girls would have giggled. Have i told you before that "i love you"? Oh no, we're not that vocal..we're not that type of people. Oh, kumusta na buhay diyan? I know you're happy. Namimiss na kita. Ilan birthdays na rin ang lumipas. I wonder what have you been doing lately. I miss the way you would pinch my nose. Some say, i look like you. Naks!flattered naman ako..ang gwapo mo kaya...does it mean that i'm also pretty?hahaha! No, we just have the same nose shape and eyes. Hindi naman kaya ako mukhang lalaki ano! Hayyy, nakakainis! Why do i miss you just now..."only when i can no longer hold you".

Sometimes when i would look at the stars at night...how i wish that you're one of them. So that somehow i could feel signs of you. You know each time i would hug and kiss your three lovely kids...i sometimes feel a sense of hope...hoping you're here..oh how they copy your countenance! Their eyes, nose, eyebrows, lips, dimples, colors and mannerisms are just exactly like yours. Kaya lalong nakakamiss ang original. I love the kids so much! They're half my life. Siguro babatokan mo ako with all that i'm saying here now...kasi you know that i won't get to say these things naman talaga if you're here. I know i've been unfair. Ok..and i'm guilty of that.

Oh,pa'no...i do not have anything to offer you in your birthday talaga...i don't have any material things that you'd be proud to know i own...except for the things abstract like my undying love to the people you love and left behind. And of course with my prayer. I miss you so much... I still get to cry each time i remember you. You never even gave me the idea that the last time i set my eyes on you would be final. Please be the kids' angel.

Happy Birthday Bro! Give my regards to my God there in heaven.

Your little sister,
Evelyn
