Dearest My Love,
Today, 16 November 2010, is a our second wedding anniversary. I don’t have a card for you, or a gift, either. It’s lame, perhaps, but this letter will be my gift.
I’m so proud to call you my husband, Sayang. It means so much to me to be your wife. As you know, before we met I thought for sure I’d never have anyone again. Then you came along! Allah has really blessed me!
Thank you so much for loving me. For seeing something in me., for marrying me, for listening to my concerns and working to make our marriage better. For putting up with my moods when I’m dealing with issues. Thank you for being you. There is just something about you, my love that I cannot resist. I know that I don't always tell you that. I wish that you could know how many times a day that I think of you. It has to be thousands. I can't imagine my life without you.
I am comfortable with you, I am comfortable being myself with you. I love that nothing is too silly or embarrassing to talk about. I love you because you indulge me. I love you because you balance me out. Whereas I’m high-strung, you’re calm. Where I am weak, you’re strong. Where I am lacking, you fill in. I won’t say you complete me, because that’s just cheesy and also untrue, but I will say you are everything I want in a husband. I couldn’t and wouldn’t ask for more. Isn’t that utterly amazing? I think so. What’s even more amazing is that you and I weren’t always like this. We’ve developed into this and we keep developing alongside each other, not stuck to each other but going in the same direction.
I know I am not always the easiest to put up with and sometimes I let my prima donna come out. I know I am not perfect and yet you love me still. I can’t begin to even put into words just how special you make me feel. Whether it is seeing the love in your eyes for me or just the way you hold me when I am upset. How you let me escape when you can see I am “wiggin out” to save at least a part of my sanity. I love you not only for who you are but for who you help me to be.
As I write to you now, I know that when you are back today from Kerteh I'll probably tell you how much I love you and this letter may just seem superfluous.
But you may save this to read again, especially at difficult times. Please know that when you read it in the fifth, tenth or thirtieth year of our marriage, I love you then as I love you today when our marriage is a full year old, and we are miles apart, on our second wedding anniversary. Thanks for loving me.
I am so excited to grow old with you.
Happy Anniversary Sayang!
Your Hunny Bunny,
Nini
