The Second Year
April 11, 2005
My Ngaihnou* Mang,
It's been two years.
Married life isn't always easy but it sure is a wonderful journey. We have experienced the ups and downs, the joys and pains, the surprises and mundaneness of being together. We have learned and unlearned lessons that would strengthen our bond. Two things I learned this year--always choose to love and always extend grace and forgiveness. Two things I unlearned this year--insisting on my rights and thinking that everything has to be fair all the time.
Yesterday, as we sat in the garden while the sun set and the gentle breeze blew, I felt like a blushing bride once again. As we held hands and renewed our vows I felt love bloomed anew. Right at that moment, as if by divine orchestration, the church bells rang to seal our renewed commitment to love and to hold each other for better or for worse, for richer or for poorer, for bigger or for slimmer, in sickness and in health till death do us part.
Thank you for your undying, unconditional, selfless love. I love you.
Devoted to you,
Grace
*Beloved in Paite (Mang's language)
