My sister (hand-carried) looks like a teletubbie!
@ my birthday a decade+ ago.

Having been bestowed with the gift of getting to grace the face of earth for another more year, for the eighteenth time, is in itself a pleasure already.

And what makes my years and the ride in life worthwhile is having being blessed with a fatherly father, a motherly mother, two siblings who always get out of hand (double joy double pain), many platonic&non-platonic friends, a few ex-boyfriends who taught me how to love, a few bestfriends who proved to be ever-ready, a few listening ears, a few shopping buddies, a few chill buddies, a few talk-cock buddies, a heart full of faith, hope, trust, courage and love.

To the people who made me a better person, I am grateful.
To the people whose hearts I broke, I am penitent.
To the people who share my joy, when are we going to do that again!?

YWith love, Valerie
