My birthday will never be the same…


For the first time in many years, I am not excited about my birthday. I am turning 22 this Wednesday, and for some reason I feel like I can't seem to get anything right in my life. I don't know if I am scared at the prospect of growing older or realizing that I AM growing old???


The hardest thing for me this year though, above all else….is that someone very special to me will not be around to send me the first message of the day, to be the first to call and to give me those tender words of encouragement and hope.


Every year since I can remember, PC made me feel like the most special girl in the world on my birthday…


I would like to share the message he sent me last year… I find myself reading it over and over again lately especially when am feeling down or when I need to refocus in life, because where I can from, I was taught to fight, to be strong and to remain focused! Every thing else will fall into place. You are gone but know that you are loved and missed dearly...



Bon anniversaire

Nina,

Je suis content de pouvoir te souhaiter un bon vingt et unième anniversaire. Je peux me vanter en te disant que je t'ai vu grandir petite(hahaha). C'est vrai tu as bien grandi.

Je suis fier de toi au point où pour moi tu es une référence pour les filles de ton âge.

Bon, je suis (nous sommes) content de toi. Mais ça ne veut pas dire que tu es parfaite(haha). Je te souhaite seulement de continuer à bien grandir en ce nouvel anniversaire. Comme cela nous serons encore plus fiers de toi.

Attention: Ici grandir ne signifie pas grandir physiquement seulement, ça veut dire aussi a lot of good grades and good behaviour and so on(hahaha). Je sais qe tu avais compris.

Bon anniversaire.
