‘YOU ALWAYS BELIEVED IN ME’

- Tim Tam Ong, jewelry designer/interior decorator/ entreprene­ur, is the daughter of Cezette Constantin­o.

Dearest Mom,

My heart overflows with immense love and gratitude toward you. I am appreciati­ve of everything that you’ve done for me. You are my biggest supporter, cheerleade­r, sounding board, critic, moral compass. You always believed in me and reminded me that nothing is impossible. You embraced my true self in every evolving phase, always giving me the best advice with the best of intentions. Your love was constant, never to be doubted.

Your reassuring presence has been a beacon of light during my darkest days. I treasure our daily conversati­ons and your unwavering support. You taught me almost everything I know and shaped who I am today. I want you to know that I owe it to you and I love you more than you know.

Because of you, I know that whatever happens, there is somebody behind me every step of the way. You have shown me the true meaning of trust, never leaving me behind.

You are a perfect mother! You are my angel on earth, my role model, my dearest confidante. Your strength and resilience show me that I can truly make it through anything. Through your joyful and nurturing outlook on life, you’ve imparted invaluable lessons on happiness, love, adventure, hard work, integrity and faith in God.

I am blessed beyond measure to call you my mother and could never dream of a better one. Being a mother myself, I hope and pray that I’m at least half the mother you are.

Love,

Tim Tam
