Ninang's Gift

Dearest Raya,

It’s been a hard day, Raya.

I’ve been crying and asking myself if everything that happened was my fault. I keep seeing flashbacks in my head, and it’s still very painful for me. I can’t sleep well. I just want someone to hold my hand and tell me that everything will be okay.

I pray that we’ll get through this. I’m so tired, but I miss you so much, my baby.

Today, I received your Ninang’s gift for you. It’s so tiny and so cute, I wish you could wear it. Seeing it made my heart hurt, but also made me feel your presence. You are so loved, Raya. Many people still think of you and care for you deeply.

Some days are really hard, but I keep reminding myself that my love for you will never end. You are always with me — in my thoughts, in my heart, and up there in the clouds.

I love you always, my baby Raya. ☁️💗

I love you always and forever,

Mommy 🤍
