‘You never stopped pushing forward to ensure a brighter, more secure future for us’

Dear Mom,
For over 20 years, you’ve dedicated your life as an OFW—a true testament to your unwavering hard work and sacrifice. You never stopped pushing forward, to ensure a brighter, more secure future for us.
Now that we are all working professionals, please know how deeply grateful we are for everything you’ve done. Your love, strength, and resilience are always in our hearts. We constantly pray for your good health, peace of mind, and well-deserved joy.
As you embrace retirement, we hope you fill your days with vacations, travels, and celebrations—surrounded by the people you love. You deserve every bit of happiness this world has to offer.
With all our love,
Bernard
