My hubby - Daniel

I just got my advance birthday pressie yesterday night from Dan. It is a slightly bigger than 1 carat diamond ring. It was a pleasant surprise when I opened up the small box he put beside my pillow.

He had been asking me what I would like to have for my birthday, but I told him that there is nothing that I really want for now, since I am going to be at home for the next few months. And I told him that we shouldn’t be spending money on unnecessary stuff since we have an extra mouth to feed now.

But as usual, he went ahead to get me such an expensive birthday pressie!

Yet looking within, I know it is not the cost of the gift - it is his expression of his love for me. He just wants to buy something for me that I would love and be happy with. Dan is someone whom can be so stingy on himself, yet ever so generous on me.

I want to dedicate this post to him, for I am one fortunate woman to have him around in my life. For the past ten years, he has always been there to root for me firmly, riding through all the ups and downs with me. His unwavering support and gentle love has allowed me to continue my journey in life with renewed strength and will indeed. Though I must admit that there were times back then that I questioned about us, I am glad that I stay on to our relationship and rough through them. If not, I would not be where I am today!

Dan,

When I am fearful and bewildered, you are my courage and lighthouse.

When I am overwhelmed with tasks to complete, you are always my old mighty octopus.

When I am sad, you are my clown.When I am in doubts, your soft yet assuring words are my pillars.

When I am to give up, your intense encouragement pushes me on.

Most of it all, you had and have loved me totally and unconditionally.

For all these privileges, I appreciate and cherish deeply.

Like I always said, I could not imagine my life without you now.

Want to let you know that I love you, for the person you are and for all you have given me.

Hope that our love will be like all the diamonds you have given me – everlasting and sparkling always.
