Can’t imagine how time flies and how you have grown so fast.

You are my joys…You are my hopes…You are my strengths.

No one can ever come close. To you I give everything I own.

To you I share my all.

You both are the loves of my life…You two are the lights of my paths.

My Gia…My Geline, you two are my precious!

My heart and my soul love and live because I have YOU!
