"I’m not sure where the time has gone and wow, we have been married 5 years now.  Having met on Christmas day, this arrangement God has brought to both our lives truly takes on a special meaning.  The greatest gift God has given us was born on Christmas day in the coming of His Son; and the greatest gift I’ve had in this life on earth was brought to me as my beautiful wife.  Of course from all that, we have the most beautiful child as well.

My wife will just say “himos” when I tell her how beautiful she is, but in all actuality she is the most beautiful woman in the world to me in more ways than just one.  (Himos meaning many things) She puts up with my long hours at work, my dirty hands and among many other bad habits husbands can have.  She through it all, loves me unconditionally as I do her always.  Her job is equally hard if not harder.  You know, for her to be at home taking care of the many challenges that have faced us with our little girl, while having to give up her job and the life she knew in the place where she was from.

Here, she has to do it all alone with me while being used to all the support a big family has to offer.  So when I say she is special, it means that I’m the luckiest husband to be blessed with.  Baby, always remember how much I do love you and never forget it is forever and eternity.  As it is said in your language, “GUGMA TA KA KAAYO HANGTUD SA KAHANGTURAN.”  Love you so very much and that’s forever and eternity.  I do thank the Lord for her always and hope she knows that I’m not sure how I did it before I met her, and know I could never do it without her now.  To a great mother and a truly-loved wife, God bless you always and may He bless our marriage for the many more eternal years to come.

HAPPY ANIVERSARY SWEET HEART, YOU TRULY DESERVE IT!"
