Dear Husband

Dear Husband,

It's almost 8 years as married couples and we still find ourselves deciphering each other - annoyed and awed at the same time. I realized that our likes and dislikes change over time. There are some bad habits corrected and some good habits acquired. Grateful at times when we feel like newly weds and times we get into tiny fights that end up realizing each other's worth.

There are times we thought we'd give up. At the start of our married life, our hands were already full of big responsibilities. As much as we try to make things perfect, we always commit mistakes. But we never backed down. When I was down, you'd always pick me up. When you're down, I always got your back.

I know there'll come a time we would sit down and reminisce all these years we are experiencing right now. I always pray my memories won't fade right away. Aside from remembering our kids growing up, I'd like to remember how both of us blossomed as individuals and as a couple. When I go back to our old photos, I realized how much I missed out on our milestones.

Forgive me for not prioritizing you. Today I'm reminded of how important you are in my life. It's not because you're my husband nor the father of our kids. You are important because of who you are. The years will wrinkle us and make us unrecognizable. Things will definitely change but one thing will remain. I'm yours and you're mine. It may seem like a too-tight situation for both of us, no-choice life, got-stuck-here-with-you. To tell you honestly, it's that mystery unfolding each year that makes our marriage a wonderful experience. Let me make it up to you in each and every day. Remind me when I forget you.

Dear, I pray we grow old and gray together, watching our kids live their lives to fullest. I'm happy to be journeying this world with you. I love you!
