Monica Altre Ninang Mhy, Three words. The last three words you heard from me. "I Love You." There will never be any combination of letters and words to best describe how grateful I am for you and how blessed I am to be loved by you. Thank you. Thank you for stepping in to be Mom for me when I was a scared and confused 11-year old when my Mama was thousands of miles away from me. You welcomed me into your home and gave me comfort. You tried your best to cook the dishes I was missing from a far away home. You always tried your best to make sure that whatever I was missing, you would fill that void and sadness with happy memories instead. When I felt that the whole world had turned its back on me, you stood by me. You comforted me and gave me strength. That's the kind of person you are. You are a protector of the persecuted and oppressed. You stand up for what is right. You fight for what is good. Your indomitable spirit and integrity is what gave me that knot at the end of my rope so I can hang on longer when I thought I couldn't. You gave me hope. You gave me my future. Again, you gave me a home I can lay rest in when everything seemed insurmountable. With you I always have a home. With you I always have comfort. With you I always have courage. With you I always have hope. With you I am always loved. I know for a fact that these things are true for everyone who have come to know you, even if they only spent a few moments with you. Your heart shines brighter than all the stars in the sky through the darkest of nights. You are a compass for people to find their way home. But now it is time for you to come home. God has called his angel. My angel. You can rest now. It is time for you to be comfortable. It is time for you to be protected. It is time for you to be at peace. It is time for your retirement in paradise. I will never forget the love you gave me. I will always carry it in my heart. I will share your love with my own children, the way you have loved me as your own child. So now I have five words to say to you. I will forever repeat them. Until I find my way back home to you. Until my own retirement. "I will always love you." - Nic
