Finding Emhara: Unsent Letters For My Love

Chapter 10 – Unsent Letter # 10  

Date: October 30, 2010

(A Letter for Uncle Luke)

 

Hi, Dearest Uncle Luke.

First of all, thank you.

Maraming, maraming salamat dahil sa napakaraming dahilan.

Una na dito ay ang napakawagas na pagmamahal mo para kay Mama.

 

I can’t say these words of appreciation to you verbally because you know, this is who I am.

Pero alam ko’ng ramdam mo Uncle kung gaano ako kasaya na pumasok ka sa buhay namin. Maraming salamat sa matiyagang paghihintay na matanggap kita ng buo.

Thank you for the unconditional love and care you always show to Mama and also to me.

Our darkest days became brighter when you entered the picture.

Naging sandigan at kakampi ka namin ni Mama sa panahong kailangang kailangan namin ng tulong at pag-alalay.

You were there for us. You patiently waited for us to trust you.

Dalawa kaming niligawan mo at pinasaya.

Salamat, Uncle.

Just seeing my Mama happy makes me the happiest as well.

I love you both so much!

Thank you for being a father figure to me just when I needed one.

You’re a guardian angel sent from Above.

I may be 30 now but all our memories together as a family will forever be cherished and remembered.

Thank you for everything, Uncle Luke.

Thank you for treating me as your own daughter.

I wish you and Mama to be happy for the rest of your life.

Happy, happy birthday, Uncle! We had a blast this day. Sana ay napakasaya ka namin. At ipinagdarasal ko sa Maykapal na magkaroon ka pa ng maraming birthday kasama kami – ang pamilya mo.

We enjoyed your intimate and simple party, here at our home.

Hanggang ngayon, kinikilig pa rin ako kapag naiisip ko na sa inyo ni Mama – I will always have a family and a home.

I may not be that vocal about my true feelings towards you two, but please know that you are the most important human being to me. You and Mama alone made my life complete.

 

Gusto ko rin palang mag-sorry kung nasusungitan kita minsan lalo na nung medyo bata-bata pa ako.

Thank you for understanding a misunderstood me.

 

And best of all, thank you for pushing me upward to reach my dreams.

I was scared but you were there to remind me that everything will be alright.

And you’re right!

I’m here now waking up every day while living the life I once dreamed of.

Salamat sa lahat ng suporta.

You are the best stepfather every lost child would want to have.

Yes, I was lost before but you helped me find my way back.

And I will be forever grateful to you.

We deserve to celebrate your life, Uncle.

Please continue to be a blessing to other people especially to Mama.

You both always deserve to be happy on each other’s arms.

I love you both, love birds!

 

Your daughter,

Emhara.
