Special Day

Today is our first wedding anniversary. What a year! We’ve been through a lot and I’m just very thankful that my husband Biboy is my partner in everything and every way. Well, we have the usual misunderstandings between couples from time to time, but I’m glad that we’ve learned (and still learning) not to dwell on them for long periods.

Hey husband, if you get to read this, you should know this blog entry is for you. After all, you’re one of the very few who has access to this (hahaha).

I just want to let you know that even when I don’t always show it, I’m really very grateful for and deeply touched by all the sacrifices that you’re making for us – your family. I really think that you’re the most hardworking and selfless dad in the world, and I believe this everyday. But I worry about your health though when you go on working for days with just a little rest.

I am thankful for the little things as well. Like when you don’t balk at changing the diapers, bathing our baby, feeding her, washing her after ‘poopoo,’ taking her out and staying up late at night to watch and play with her, and let me rest even when you’re tired yourself. I am thankful for your patience as well, both with Eya and me – for the many and constant kind, calming and comforting gestures when I’m in my not-so-easy-to-understand moods. These little things really get me through. They make my ordinary days worthwhile, and I really really thank you.

Raising a child while enjoying your marriage is not always easy. Finding the right time for each other is really hard work. I’m just thankful that we had the chance to enjoy each other’s company as sweethearts and best friends for about seven (7) years. I really think now that that was what prepared us for this next hard (but of course fulfilling) stage in life—having a baby. Those long years have taught us how to somehow always find a way to understand each other, and we still do so now especially during the inescapable trying moments.

So let’s enjoy this day and look forward to the coming years. You know, of course, that Eya and I both love you muchy muchy, always. There are still lots of things to say, but I’ll save that for later when you wake up. Cheers darling!!!
