6 Years Of.....'I Do'.

Pieces Of Sweet Nostalgia

Today is my 6 years wedding anniversary.  And since my husband is away, for sure there will be no celebration or whatsoever. Not that we always have a grand celebration each year.  It’s far from that.  But, this is the first year we are not together during our anniversary.

So, what is in my thoughts on anniversary?  Well…honestly I am wondering, what we will do if he is here with me.  Or..to be exact, what will he do for me.  I have a few friends and relatives who have a very ‘romantic’ husband.  Each year, they will receive flowers and expensive gift from the husband during birthday or anniversary and of course they will never miss to post it on facebook.  I sometimes envy them.  Because as a woman…I like flowers and I like gift.  I like, sweet surprises. But as I always said, my husband is not romantic in that particular way.  So, yeah…I can just forget about that.

But, looking back along the journey we have taken…I must say…there are lots of small little things to be thankful for.  Well, he is not my so called dream man….far from perfect (who is perfect anyway?).  But, so far he treated me well.  He provides all my basic needs, give me home to live, a food to eat, a clothes to wear.  He gave me love and take good care of me. Ohhh…every time I remember how he took care of me during my confinement period, I feel like I am the luckiest woman in the world.  What he did for me was so amazing.  He is a loving husband and a great father.  And he even gave me freedom to do any activities that interest me and supported me almost in everything.   So….I am grateful.  But…I still like flowers.  Hahhahaha.

So, it’s been 6 years.  It’s not an easy journey.  But so far…I am grateful.  We are a simple couple, a simple family…living a simple life.  It’s far from perfect….but it’s a lovely life.
