Birthday gift
3 January, 2014, 23.05hrs
55 minutes to go and I could not wait to open the mystery envelope, so I did. "What's this?" I'd asked two days ago at the airport, "Something that we wanted to do in Singapore", he replied with a mischievous glint in his eyes. Tree top walk? Gardens by the Bay? I half thought, half asked. He just smiled.
I open it to see the yellow legal pad that he always uses. Ooo a card!, I thought. A lovely message of love and warmth that was somehow brighter than the nearly neon yellow of the paper. A white sheet, folded crisply into thirds, was attached to the letter. I unfolded the sheet in puzzlement, eager but also perplexed as to what this might be. Tears sprang to my eyes the moment I registered the words: "My Fair Lady - The World's Best Musical" "Door B Stall S Row 36"... No way...
Tears kept flowing down my cheeks as I wonder, yet again, in amazement in the wonderful ways that he showers me with love. Noticing little details like this (I don't even remember mentioning this to him!) and being so generous. I know he would love to be here with me if possible, but since he will not be able to do so, he so lovingly gets two tickets for me to spend quality time with someone else. He is so amazing. I love that he loves and is not afraid to love. It shows me up for the petty and cautiously realistic perspective that I hold, and challenges me to constantly go beyond myself. I love him. Thank you, so very very much, my love, for always helping me to be a better person, for you and for myself.
I miss you so much. It's bad enough that I don't know when we might be able to see each other again; but this gift, so loving and so sweet, makes me jump up in joy and reach out to hug you, only to be reminded yet again of your painful absence and the physical distance between us. No matter though, for the love you show is so strong that after a while, the joy of loving you overcomes any pangs of melancholy at your temporary absence, and I smile. I smile.
I love you.
Time for me to start preparing my 2 year anniversary gift :) Love you!
