Gelii's 3rd Birthday


It was a stormy day. From the window pane was a scene of heavy pouring rain. I was excited and nervous, not knowing what to feel and which one to feel first. Not knowing what to think and which way I should think. I would stare at the dark sky. Far. Farther. Void. And then the doctor came out of the operating room and exclaimed "your baby's out!" It was one of the greatest feeling I had ever felt in my life. And that was three years ago.

My baby's now three! My, how time flies. And today, I'm feeling the same way again. The same great feeling on that same day I saw her behind the viewing room of the hospital's nursery. I told myself "my Princess is here" and I was right. She is the epitomé of the princess I have known in the fairy tales I once told when I was a kid. And now, the princess is with me celebrating her 3rd birthday.

Happy birthday, Gelii! I love you very much.
