This is 35. I am blessed, highly favored by my Creator. I am truly loved and it takes a village, so thank you to everyone for the constant support. I also share the same birthday as my maternal grandfather, Tatay Ben, whose no longer with us. To the other man who raised me,“Ang mahal mo, lagi sa puso ko.” Thank you to my life partner, Jacob for EVERYTHING that you do for us and our little family. Also, thank you Mommy. I’m the same age you were when you had me, which makes this year quite significant for us. With that said,my heart is truly full. I am endowed with joy that I get to spend another year on this Earth with you all. Keep smiling and making the most of the time we have together. I love you and I really mean it. HAPPY BIRTHDAY MELANIE CHRISTMAS 💕
