Dear nanay,

You seem busy all the time. We never really had a deep mother-daughter talk. I've kept a lot of secrets from you. I have done things which would have probably made u mad if u found out i did it. I upset you a million times. When you took me to a movie with my friends, i repayed you by sitting away from you. When i was thirteen, you hand picked clothes for me thinking it would suit me so well, i thanked you by saying you had no taste. Nowadays, you come home from work looking for a hug and i have my bedroom door shut all the time. When you ask me to tell you stories about my friends, i'd shut up and think it's none of your business. I never really appreciated anything you've done for me as much as i appreciate what my friends give me. To think i am your only child, i was given to you by God to take care of you. My role was to keep you happy. I did nothing but do otherwise. Yet you remained forgiving. you let all my mistakes pass. I'm sorry. You don't deserve to be treated that way.

We'll thank you for putting up with me all these years. You're the best. really.
i do not have to list down the things i need to thank you for. Everything you've done really helped me. I just didn't notice. I was too selfish. You only realize the value of something when it's gone. It's too late to take back what i've done and said. What's done is done.

It all boils down to this...
Ma, i love you.
