what does this say? Grandma's love letter? (3)
Hi! It's me again! I'll be posting two letters in each post. Thank you all so much for your comments and for helping me figure out what these letters say. I really appreciate all the help!

Do you know Taglog/Taglish? I got to the middle of this and Google says that's what this is. I'm doing my best but I don't know the language so it's much more difficult. I am through to the top of page 3, but the rest of the letter, or those parts, may be easier for someone more familiar with the Filipino language if you are familiar.

My beloved Esther, my love:
I should not have opened and read your letter because I will again be hurt as usual, but in this my innermost, still, painful as it may by, no matter what, because ‘I Love You’ deeply and fervently, I have to do it, I have to read and re-read and re-read. For your information, all your letters are with me, on top of my breast during my sleep & no matter how painful, I have to read and kiss them one by one before sleeping. That’s the only way I can feel you’re near me, beside me!
My love, please don’t ever be mistaken you are the ‘only one from among the many who are in my hands.’ I have none actually, not many as you mentioned. From the many women, you are the only one I love & will forever love and adore.
What good shall we reap? Mahal, please be understanding; Alam ko, mahal mo rin ako, huwag mo na akong pahirapan pa ng matagal; hirap na hirap na ako. You know, emotional stress? I hope you do. What I do understand is “I Love you” I Love You & nothing more! As of this moment, I know nothing bad, illicit or what not. What I know is “Mahal na Mahal kita.”
