A Birthday Message to my Son

[BONSAL]

Dear Brent,

When you reach the age that I will let you have your own computer and browse the internet, probably create your own blog too, I hope you swing by this little entry I especially wrote for you.

Our life has been into a lot of challenges when you were growing up. When you‘re eight months old, your mom and I was so worried because you were diagnosed by your doctor with a rare type of congenital syndrome. We pray so hard for God to intercede with your malady. A month after, miracle happened. Your previous medical finding was refuted by a neuro-specialist.

Although, you were assessed by the dev-pedia with Global Developmental Delays but the good thing they saw positive signs from you and they’re very optimistic that you can make it. As you go on with your regular therapy sessions, your therapists were astonished and amazed by your progress. We’re both working so hard for us to normalize your condition of course with God’s guidance.

Sometimes, I feel guilty when I have to say it to your beautiful eyes why this phenomenon transpired to you. I thought you might be easily exhausted but I was wrong.

Because every time I look into your eyes, it always tells me that everything is going to just fine. Your smile assures me that no matter what, you're going to stay right here beside me.

I'm sorry Brent that sometimes I'm not always right by your side to see all your firsts. But I just want to let you know that everything that I do, I'm doing it because I know I have to provide for you and protect you. You may not hear it because you're almost always asleep when I'm home but with every opportunity I get, I whisper to your ears that I love you so much.

On this very special day, two years ago, you were given to me and I was so scared. I never had a father to teach how to be a good one. But when I look at you and hear you cry, it's my love for you that guides me what to do. I don't think I've thanked God enough of having you.

Happy 2nd Birthday my son!


Love,

Daddy BONSAL
