Indeed you are the most blessed 28 year old there is!

You are a living example of someone who has tested life’s possibilities… never giving up, always wanting more, working very hard, giving everything, defining your goals and dreams, exceeding them, overcoming trials, breaking boundaries… exploring, testing, learning…living life to the fullest… You are also a living example of someone who appreciates life, grateful for and generous with everything that you have, not taking things for granted.

In you, I feel I have achieved half of what I dreamed of in life…
• getting into and excelling in the world’s best company in Silicon Valley
• exploring many of the world’s best tourist destinations
• proving that the only limits to what we can achieve are the boundaries that we set on ourselves

With you, I have enjoyed some of the best vacations…
• admiring the uniqueness of Prague
• driving through the magnificent coast of Cote d’Azur and the Amalfi coast
• exploring the exceptional beauty of Paris
• walking through the tiny streets of Nice
• shopping at Camden in London
• screaming through the chairlift ride to the top of Anacapri
• savoring the best of Italian cuisine at Sorrento
• exploring places with no set plans…walking, shopping, stopping for tea and ice cream
• even missing flights, forgetting books in planes

Through you, I know I will fulfill some of my heart’s desires to better mankind…
• educate underprivileged kids
• inspire people from all walks of life
• bring out the best in others – love ones, friends, colleagues
• teach the value of hard work, kindness and generosity
• share the goodness of our heart, the passion in our ambitions, the key to our success

I am so very happy for you, anak and very excited for your life’s journey.

Remember that no matter how many times you circle the globe, Dad, DJ, Bear and I always look forward to having you back home. We cannot wait to see you soon.

Happy, happy, happy birthday!

I love you so very much.

BIG HUG!

Mama
