Happy 13th Wedding Anniversary, my Mylene!
I know I should have posted this on my personal blog, but I choose not to because my main blog has a wider audience.
Anyway, today is our 13th wedding anniversary, and I am very happy that I am still married to the same woman; Mylene.
Well, the past 13 years of my life was not perfect but I have no regrets. I cannot even imagine myself being married to another woman except to my wife.
The fact that we have been steady for more than six years is enough to say that I will be happy for the rest of my life if I marry her.
As I said, my marriage is not perfect but I am glad my wife is still holding on. With that, I would like the world to know what I feel right now.
Below is my supposedly my love letter to my wife, and I want to share it with you.
My Mylene,
The past thirteen years of our lives was very colorful. You got pregnant before we got married, but it was our decision. I still remember when we decided to live as husband and wife. Year 1995, you went to my boarding house, and you said you are now willing to be my wife. Years back, I told you that I want to marry you anytime but I know you are not yet ready that time. I then told you that I will be waiting when that time comes.
We asked permission from our elders but they won’t allow us, not because we do not love each other. They simply do not want us together because of family conflict, but it did not matter to us.
Since you still need a parent’s consent before you marry, we asked them but they declined our request. But still, we choose to live as one. During our first night, nothing happened. I gave you one week to live with me, and if you shall stay then we shall continue. But on the last day, you left and I respected your decision. After 3 days, you came back to me and said you are now ready.
Our actual plan is you work first before we have a baby, but you were not hired. January 1996 came, and people started to notice that you are pregnant. Fortunately, one of our aunts decided to sign on the parent’s consent and it was the happiest moment of my life.
We encountered a lot of difficulties especially about money. I lost my job when our first child was born. Within that 4-month period of being jobless, I saw your effort to help and supported me all the way. After getting back to work, you insisted that we should have our own home. You convinced me to take a 25-year housing loan and we had it. Because of your selling ability, you helped a lot to make our life better.
But after 5 years, our second child came and more challenges came. He was born with low health resistance, and frequently being hospitalized due to asthma. But you did not give up, you did your best to keep him healthy. Although we are starting to lose money again, you did odd jobs just to help me.
When I spent Christmas in Japan to work, you did not only took good care of our children but also our finances. You used our extra money to improve our house, and I am really amazed on how you did it without me. This is even I was not at home during your birthday and other special occasions, and our son was hospitalized on Christmas day.
2008 when I decided to leave my work and pursue a business. I know that was the toughest decision so far since money is really hard these days, but you again supported me. We did not realize that the worst is yet to come. Dengue almost killed you and hurt our daughter, and it was a nightmare for me to see you in pain. But I saw you cry not because you are hurt, but because our daughter is also suffering. With that, I felt the love you have as a mother.
Now that it’s been more than a year that I have no job, you are doing odd jobs more than ever without complaining. I am very sorry that we are now still suffering from financial problem, and I promise you that this is only temporary.
But more than that, I am very thankful that you did not stop loving me although you can. I am very thankful that you sacrifice your own happiness just to serve us. I am very thankful that you are still holding on, even if it already hurts your arm.
I now can only promise you to do the same, and rest assured that only death can stop me.
Happy 13th Wedding Anniversary, my Mylene!
Loving you always,
Your Angel
