Happy birthday Hannah and Joel…

Dearest Hannah darling…how have you been? You turn 9 today if you were still here on earth. How time flies…I still remember hearing your cry in the delivery room after they pulled you out of my womb. You came out first and then Joel. The first and last cry I heard from you. Do I miss you? I do. You’re still with me in my heart forever and ever until the day I breathe my last. 9 years old you, I wonder what you look like. Perhaps like me when I was 9? I should just imagine you as my 9 year old self. That’s the best I could do now until the day I see you again. 

Joel won the speakers challenge this year for his year group. He did so well in class, and then school challenge. He also went for interschool for this. I reckon he did very well and will do even better next year. You’ll be so proud of him as his cece if you were here. 

Yesterday he also came home from school with a bookmark printed with his design on it. He won the bookmark design competition. He is doing well in school and we are so proud of him. 

Your Koko is also doing very well in his new school. He has changed school and made new friends. I feel a bit sad that he left his old school, but it’s for the better. He also came home yesterday saying that he got 100% for his music assessment, 95% for his science test and another commendation for his geography test for scoring well. You will be very proud of your Koko if you were here too. 

Later today, we will be celebrating Joel’s birthday at bowling. He wanted a bowling party with his friends. I just imagine if you’re here too. It would be a double party and you both would really have lots of fun together as twins with your friends. 

The word twins is quite a sensitive word for me, coz each time I hear it, or mention it, it triggers something within me, because Joel also has a twin and the twin is you, my dear girl. 

Your Kongkong and Ahma are also both here now in Australia. I feel comforted that they are here close by. I pray that God will help me help look after them well with no issues and stress. I really pray that all go smoothly from now on and forwards. 

Keep cheering for me Hannah. It’s a tough life here on earth. I’m counting the days till I see you again. Life is full of surprises, and who knows, my time on earth might just be up. 

Happy birthday to you my dearest daughter. I’ll keep wishing you on here until the day I can wish you and give you a big hug face to face. I love you and miss you heaps. 


Happy birthday Joel. I can’t thank God enough for you too. Keep growing up healthy and strong, happy and kind. I am so proud of who you have become today. 

I love you both my twins. And I love your koko too.
