“Kasih pasti lemah lembut
Kasih pasti mema’afkan
Kasih pasti murah hati
KasihMu kasihMu Tuhan
Ajarilah kami ini saling mengasihi
Ajarilah kami ini saling mengampuni
Ajarilah kami ini kasihMu ya Tuhan
KasihMu tulus tiada batasnya”
Dearest my little princess,
It is one old song Mommy was always singing as your lullaby. It tells us love and forgiveness, and it’s a plea to The Lord to teach us how to love and forgive.
My darling daughter, I delight in the joy of your existence. When I first cuddled you, your beautiful, soft, warm, sweet smelling in my arms, I knew I had fallen in love for the rest of my life. You are the best gift of my life.
Being your mother is a God’s amazing grace, witnessing you grow I see every God’s promise is accomplished in my life through you.
I was not mothered myself as a teenager, so I did not have a pattern to follow. I spent so much of your childhood worrying about doing the right thing that I sometimes forgot to simply enjoy you. I made so many mistakes I wish I could rectify.
So today, I was completely overwhelmed by your trust in me, by your belief that I could help you. The fact that you want to talk to me about so many things in your life humbled me. I never knew that feeling for my mother. She had been with The Lord when I was just 13.
I hope you’ll always find time and a while to stop and laugh during the journey through this oftentimes bumpy road called “life”. When life gets you down and nothing seems to go your way, please remember that you always have Mommy, and that you are sincerely and perfectly LOVED.
My words are never enough to express my gratitude by having you in my life. You are my little princess and you remain will be.
With a hug and kisses,
Mommy
