"Akala ko alam ko na kung gaano kalaki ang kayang ibigay na pagmamahal ng puso ko, hanggang sa dumating ka sa buhay namin, anak 🥺🤍."

Opening up about the difficult journey leading to her safe delivery, Smokey reflected about their struggle:

"Hindi man naging madali ang paglalakbay bago ka namin mayakap, bawat luha, takot, at dasal ay nagkaroon ng mas malalim na kahulugan nang una ka naming makita. Sa bawat munting ngiti mo, sa bawat paghawak mo sa aming mga daliri, at sa bawat pagkakataong nakakatulog ka sa aming mga bisig, paulit-ulit naming nararamdaman kung gaano kami pinagpala na maging mga magulang mo."

Looking ahead to her future, the doting dad bared an unbreakable promise to his daughter as well:

"Sana paglaki mo, malaman mong bago ka pa man makilala ng mundo, may isang buong pamilyang sabik na sabik nang makilala ka, mahalin ka, at makasama ka sa bawat yugto ng buhay mo. At kung dumating man ang araw na maging mahirap ang mundo para sa'yo, sana maalala mong may tahanan kang puno ng pagmamahal, may mga yakap na hindi mauubos, at may mga pusong habambuhay na magiging sayo."
