I’ve been writing a lot about my little boys that I figured it’s about time I write something about my dearest Hubby…- Seven years older than me (still can’t imagine that when I was in sixth grade, the person destined for me was already in college… okay, okay… next bullet please because he hates the topic)
- Spends more time in the bathroom than I do
- So well-read that there are endless things to talk about when I’m with him
- Gifted with the sexiest shoulders I’ve seen
- Hates the taste and smell of chicken curry and laswa (a vegetable dish we, Ilonggos, love)
- Once upon a time, woke up in the middle of night and declared, “We’ve got… so much… powerrrrr!!!!” Then, he went back to sleep. You should have seen how shocked I was and how I couldn’t stop laughing after realizing what just happened.
- Hid behind the name “Johnny” when I wasn’t allowed to take phone calls from him (and my landlady was too d*mb to notice!)
- Looks like Romnick Sarmenta (He’ll hate me for this!)
- Sings like Jose Mari Chan (You should hear him sing “Deep in My Heart!”)
- Dances like Anjo Yllana (Kanta na lang ulit, babe! Love you!)
Seriously, I consider myself lucky and blessed to have Hubby in my life. Accepting his proposal to become his wife is one of the best decisions I have made.
To my Hubby, thank you…
- For holding on to “us” when I easily gave up the first time
- For the trust to give it another try
- For going to the point of no return with me
- For all the love letters you wrote and the cards you made for me
- For patiently waiting outside my class to spend the rest of the day with me
- For convincing me to try “fish balls” and “squid balls” … you were right… hindi sulit ang UP days without them
- For moving to UP so we can see each other more often
- For the quiet after-dinner walks around the academic oval
- For singing every love song for me
- For arranging almost everything for our wedding (not to mention paying for everything!)
- For standing by me through labor pains as I was about to deliver our firstborn… and our second… and our third
- For working hard to give me and the kids the comfortable life we are living right now
- For putting up with all my sumpongs
- For driving me to and from work most of the week
- For waiting patiently in the car while I stay late in the office
- For waking up during the night to adjust the A/C
- For giving me kisses in the morning when I wake up, before you leave for work, when we see each other again at the end of the day, and before we sleep
- For holding me close to sleep every night
- For the “I love yous” at the end of every text message you send (kahit pa nagsusungit ako)
- For the hugs, kisses, and “I love yous” in between
- For buying what I always say is my “dream phone” … (I know you wouldn’t spend as much for yourself. But, for me, you would.)
- For putting the kids’ and my needs (and wants) first before yours
- For being faithful to me all these years that we have been together
- For making my dream of a happy ever after come true
- For the promise of forever and for keeping it
You once asked me if I can handle having you around for the rest of my life… Baby, I wouldn’t want it any other way!
Makulit man, our not-so-little boys always make Mom and Dad extra happy and proud by making it to the honor roll and bringing home these medals every year.
