It's my anniversary!! 8 crazy years spent with someone I had not imagined a life with... However, deep down I always wanted a person who could understand my thoughts without me having to put them in words...
First of all Happy Anniversary to Us, Hubby!!
This one doesn't mean we have had the golden 8 years, not at all. We have had our share of disagreements, misunderstandings, disappointments. All of us do.
When we had issues, we tried to resolve. Figured out ways to live up to each other's likes. Tried best to explain/ understand and when we could not we also gave each other space to be ourselves without the pressure of coming through.
The biggest trait I would say is our effort to come clean when we have made a mistake and the other dint notice. Honesty is the one that has and will continue to be the driving force..
I haven't told him these things ever. Haven't told him how thankful I am not for being there for me but even more for him becoming a part of my family. He has been there through everything just as a family member and not a son-in-law. That's something that has increased my respect and love for him multifold.
It's easier for us girls to think of our in-laws as family but when I see a few good men who take their in-laws to be as much their family as ours, it is one rare blessing.
Its ironic how something as deadly as this pandemic has brought out our best behaviours. We care more, we love more, we thank more and we are trying to live more...
I realize that I am immensely blessed for having the ones who care for me so much that they don't have a problem fighting with me for me.
So Dear Life, its okay if you shower me with love or blow jabs at my face, as long as I have my support system, my family intact to push me around, make fun of me, dance with me, fight with me, hear me out and celebrate our little happy moments, I will enjoy every moment of it.
Hope you are all safe and taking care. Lots of love...
CHEERS!!
GOD BLESS!!
