Thank You Being Born My Daughter

Happy Birthday. Mandy.

Maybe you are not

wake up yet. Today is another

new day God allows us. I can’t

say I understand

your feeling totally.

But I remembered

being your age.

At that time I need

to decide I live

normal life or commit

for movement.

I don’t know how

to help you but please remember.

Love you Thank you being

born my daughter.

  • Stop Looking For Someone To Complete Your Life
    Your death is more certain than your wedding day. Stop looking for someone to complete your life. You’re not missing a man. You’re missing the life you’re too busy waiting to live. — J. Redel
