The second day of the month August has come, once again, on another meaningful year to celebrate the day you were born onto this world, the day you got to breath and started living in this challenging yet somehow meaningful life. To begin this sweet simple letter of mine, I would like to wish you a happy birthday. I know it’s not easy to become the busy person that you are today, but I hope you get to enjoy the day you were born with good food to eat and great companions to celebrate. May all your wishes, in any possible ways, do come true.
There wouldn’t be the you that we all know today without the power of God to create you, His child, to serve purpose to this planet Earth which He created. Referring to your favourite Bible verse, Exodus, chapter 9, verse number 16, stated “But I have raised you up for this very purpose, that I might show you my power and that my name might be proclaimed in all the earth.” You told us that this verse is given to you from your mother and it has a big impact on you as you are living your life as famous figure out there, in the entertainment world. I always feel that this Bible verse really resonates you and your personality. Despite your busy life as an idol who often does multiple work at once, you still never fail to show your faith in God, through whatever you are doing. When God created you, I believe He was smiling because He knew you would be a great son of His who will forever believe in Him and spread His words while living the life He purposely made for you. Through the person that you are today, I got to see how great God’s power is onto us humans in this world. So, on your birthday today, I would like to thank the almighty God, for His power, in creating, shaping and guiding you, as you become the person that I admire in this world. I send prayers to Him most of the time. It’s to thank God that you exist in the same lifetime as me, although you might not know me personally, but through knowing you, I have something that will always remind me of God, you, His son who brings pretty things into my plain life. May God bless you always.
There wouldn’t be the person that stands on the big bright stage and sing beautiful melodies to us, without your mother and father, who has created and birthed you, to join us in this journey called life. You told us you learned how to play several instruments with the help of your parents and you also mentioned that your parents’ love to you is unmatched and that makes you, who you are today, all due to your parents giving ways to make all your dreams possible, because they have big love for you in their marriage, as they love one another. You always tell us about all the things your parents teached you, everything they told you about life, you took it and adapted it well in your life. You are a person well-educated by your parents and I am sure because of that, you would be a good dad on your own, someday. You will treat your own kids the same way you were raised, or even better. Honestly saying, I would love to see you do that somewhere in the future, you and your dream small family, enjoying every bits of life with the way life allows you to. So, with all that, I would like to send a huge thank you to your mother and father, for giving birth and raising a wonderful son like you, you are the fruit of their pure and genuine love, understanding and respect to each other, the amazing values that exist between your parents, is growing beautifully, fully, through you, in you. May you feel loved by them for a long time.
To everyone that shapes you in becoming the you that is present in front of us right now, send my warm regards to them too. They said a person’s value can be seen through his circle of friendships too, and as far as I can see, your group of friends consists of a bunch of wonderful, amazing and kind-hearted people, in the same journey of fulfilling their dreams, the same way as you. You inherit your positive energy, bright smile and good laugh to them, and I’d love to thank them for being the reason you continue to find rejoices in life despite your crazy busy time schedules. You once mentioned to always surround ourselves with good people because you believe that we are all good person inside, I hope you also do what you told us to do and only bring yourself to be close to the people who brings out the best and kind version of you, always. May you forever find your people to continuously feel the sense of belonging and the rush of joys in life.
To yourself, yes, you, I would like to thank you. Big kudos to you for making it to twenty-five laps around the sun! Let’s aim for as many laps as we can, don’t worry, I will be here running around the arena of life with you. I believe that without your own will to pursue everything with a big heart, you would not be able to be where you are right now. It is what makes you the person that you are today, the individual that all of us admires, a wonderful idol, amazing singer, hardworking composer and creative songwriter. Thank you, sincerely, for not giving up on yourself, for believing in your potentials, for doing it all at your own pace. Thank you for living yet another year of life. May you perpetually simply just have the will to breathe for another day, even if it is just to live the day meaningless by merely just to carry on repeating the same routines or without doing anything at all.
May you continue to rock each obstacles in life with your own way, my cherished rockstar, have the happiest birthday.
For Mark Lee,
