Dear Bebay

I remember the day you were born as if it were yesterday. The moment I held you in my arms, I knew that you were the most precious gift that life could give me. Your tiny fingers and toes, your little yawns and your beautiful smile, everything about you made me feel so proud and blessed.

Over the years, even though we were apart, I followed your progress with a father's pride. Your academic achievements, your artistic talents, and your kindness towards others, all of it filled me with such joy and happiness. You are growing up to be such a wonderful person, and I am so proud of you.

On this special day, I wish you all the love and happiness that life can bring. May you find success in all that you do, and may you never lose sight of the beautiful person that you are? Always remember that I am here for you and that you are forever in my heart.

Happy 17th birthday, my dear. I may not be there to celebrate with you but know that you are always in my thoughts and that my love for you will never fade.

With all my love,

Ba
