Seven years and counting

" I have found the one whom my soul loves" song of solomon 3:4

7 years ago today, we tied the knot. I was 4 months pregnant when we got married. We were not engaged for too long, but still, we decided to marry. I honestly don't know why. All we know and feel that moment was that it was the right thing to do. Probably not in the way that we want it to be, but everything happens for a reason and God's plan is always the best plan.

I was never really a happy mother to be. I was not excited at all. I felt tired, exhausted and unhappy. I was aloof to people. I seldom go out. I was not interested to talk about my pregnancy. I guess maybe I was not yet ready back then.

June 21, 2011, I gave birth to our little boy. Motherhood still didn't excite me. I felt so young and naive to have this kind of responsibility. Especially when I learned that our baby has clubfoot. It broke my heart. I didn't know what to do. My only solace was you. You never left me. Instead of dwelling on the negatives, you focused on the positive things and showed me how blessed we are to have our baby. You suddenly became a man, a responsible husband and father. You lead our family to move forward and face everything. Because we had to. Remembering those times, I still can't believe we survived all of it

"Every good and perfect gift is from above" James 1:17

"The littlest feet make the biggest footprints in our hearts"

I know I'm not the perfect wife you're looking for. I have many flaws. I have major problems. But amidst all that, you were there. You comforted me, picked me up when I felt broken. You were and still are a great father to our son. You probably are not the perfect husband, but who needs perfect when i already have the best.

I don't want to sound cheesy and all but just let me this once.

"And the two shall become one flesh, so that they are no longer two, but one flesh"                    Mark 10:8

Happy 7th anniversary my dear. Thank you! I am most appreciative for your endless patience. Your love for us, is no doubt the best we could ever ask for. But your infinite patience for me and arki is unrivaled. Whenever I get upset over petty things, you just let me. Whenever I get angry at you over nonsense, you just let me. You don't argue with me. I hate it most when I get mad and you just ignore me, but now I understand why. Because you know, that at the end of the day, everything will be okay. And you're right about that.. Rather than arguing over little things, you just give me space and time and let me realize how petty these things are to spoil my whole day.

The family is one of God's masterpieces

Thank you! For making me learn things. For teaching and showing me that the most important things in life are not those you can see and touch. But those moments you can feel. Those quality time and random moments spent with the family. 

"Where you go, I will go....And where you stay, I will stay" Ruth 1:16

"Let all that you do be done in love" ICor16:18

 I've asked so much from you, but you never ask anything from me. Your love is selfless, mine is selfish.  I know I loved myself more than I love you, but you taught me to be selfless. To give and give and give, until it hurts no more. God probably gave you to me so that I can grow as a person and learn from you. You are the epitome of an ideal husband and father. If I had a choice to turn back time, would I still choose you? YES, over and over and over again. I love you and will love you until my last breath.

"So they are no longer two, but one flesh. Therefore what God has joined together, let man not separate" Matthew 19:6

P.S. Let's not stop making memories together. ILY!
