It was an ordinary day in our ordinary lives, I was not expecting anything special but

when I heard your voice, the first time I heard you sing, I told myself, I wanted to know you
better. In that moment, I wanted to be the one that makes you happy, and makes your heart
smile. So, I made a move, and ask for your number, but it was a failed attempt. Days passed
by and turned into weeks, but in my heart, I know, as the Song of Solomon 3:4 says, “I found
the one my heart loves.”, and when you gave me that chance, that “yes.”, the rest was
history.

When I first saw you, I told myself, not only did you have a gentle voice but also a
kind heart. Far from my expectations, inside that angelic face, lies a heart of a tigress (in a
good way). More so, you are fierce and at the same time, sensitive and out of the many
contradictions of our personalities, I love you more and I always feel that you love me. I
have done many wrong things in my life. I have made poorly thought decisions but no matter
how flawed I am, one thing I have always been thankful for is your undying loyalty and love
for me. Sometimes, I feel undeserving of it, but you never failed to make me feel you love
me, no matter how angry you are.

Yes, we have not always done things, right the first time, but together, we are a team.
Things are hard, but this, what we have is beautiful and God given. We survive and we
thrive even in difficulties.

When Amarah came into our lives, March 9, 2018, I saw you getting out of the delivery
room, holding our little angel, I have seen so much love in your eyes for our daughter and
in that moment, I feel more of your love for the both of us each day.

Together, as we start a new phase in our lives, may the Lord keep us together and
stronger each day. Things may get even harder as time pass by, but never, even in a split
second, will I ever regret any of this. You, our Amarah, together, our family, will always be
my beloved treasure. I am a man of a few words, but today, I will vow to you, in front of the
people we love, and love us, with God with us, that I will love you for the rest of my life, even
though sometimes, I fail to show it, you can hold my heart in your hand, and together, we
will live our lives with love in our hearts, and the Lord as our guide.

“Nay, dili ko makapromise na after ani tanan, wala na’y misunderstanding, wala na’y
fights pero kabalo jud ka nga love tika, ug everyday gyud nako I commit akong sarili, para
sa atong duha. Para sa atong pamilya. I love you nay.”
