Dear Primavera,
My first best friend was this girl who was born nearly a year after me. The two of us, along with our mothers and her brother, shared every single moment of my early childhood. My earliest memory of ours was when her mother placed her next to me on the same crib. She was a miniscule handbag and as delicate as rice paper.
When I left the Philippines, I remembered that it was the most devastating moment in our bond. I recall a photo taken at my farewell party where she pouted and avoided the camera, in utter disgust that she was about to lose a dear mate.
I see recent pictures of her and they remind me of the times we spent as little babies. I'm proud of her and how well she's doing in her life.
This letter is dedicated to my lovely cousin, Mikee. I hope you had a splendid birthday. I miss you so much!
Love,
Ate Maui
