After one bit naughty afternoon, I was watching you sleep
and I can’t help but giggle seeing the smile on your face. I would have taken a
picture of you to immortalize the moment, but I was in awe with the bliss I
felt just by the mere sight of you.
Then I began thinking of our memories… From the second we
met and how we became friends, and then, more than friends. And then from the time
we started living in together, and you taking full responsibility of me and the
kids. I felt so much joy, contentment, and love... All I can say is that I am
so lucky to have someone like you whom I can spend the rest of my life with.
It’s just 1 year of being married, and yet lot of things had
already happened. I want to thank you for always being there. Thank you for the
encouragement and support when I decided to switch career. Thank you for giving
me strength at the times I am mourning. Thank you for being understanding whenever
I feel sad and blue. Thank you for taking care of the kids when I am on travel;
or just out with my friends. Thank you for doing the household chores when my
laziness strikes in, and most of all, thank you for cooking all my favorite meals.
I know I already said this, but God loves me so much that He gave me you. I
must have done something really good to deserve a very loving husband.
But then I know things will not be like this every day. We
will not be forever in the honeymoon stage. There can be times that you will
love me a little less; or perhaps be a day that we will have our worst fight.
There may be an instance when we will feel so low and broken. And on those
times, I might give up… I might lose patience and understanding; I might forget
your kindness and love. My memory might be hazy and might only see hate and
disgust. During these times that I am forgetting what we have been like, please
help me remember. Tell me that those are just trials and our investment of
happiness and love are more than enough to help us get through of it. Remind me
of our friendship; the laughter we had during playful days; the dreams we have
shared; the love we have promised.
December 13 was already special from the day you were born, but it became so much extraordinary for sharing it with me. And I am looking forward to celebrate it every year ‘til forever with you. Happy anniversary my Honey!
