The ritual of celebrating valentines day started in the year 1992 with two young souls expressing their love for each other with cards and gifts. They never had any clue how their life is going to be as a couple and how they'll feel about each other in coming years. I knitted a woollen scarf feverishly for three weeks as my first valentine's day gift for CB while attending graduate school in 1992. He still has the scarf though I was the one who used it most of the time.
Life turned good in the relationship department with no extra work done to nurture it. With work and making a life for ourselves in a far away land, it took us long hours, absolute dedication and extra hard work to get to where we are now. Nothing in life came easy for us including our baby. But with absolute faith in our partnership , mutual respect for each other's feelings, enormous patience and with god's blessing we got everything we wanted in our life. We took that journey together and still continuing to tackle the challenges holding our hands and hearts together. For last three years another set of tiny hands and precious little heart joined our journey . I thank god ,every day for this life and asking his guidance at every possible moment.
For this valentines day this is the scene which greeted me when I came downstairs to our kitchen.
This year's valentines day card
With love to my wife
If you could look into my heart
you' see
All the lovely things
you are to me
All the thoughts
I somehow can't express
About our love, our home,
our happiness
If you could look into my heart,
you'd know
The many reason
Why I love you so
Happy Valentines day to my wife and my little hero.
Signed HUBBY
For all youngster who are taking the journey like we did twenty years ago, my only wish is give your best before thinking about walking away or giving up. There is a special and valid reason you fell in love with each other and stick to that feeling. It's easy to walk away from situation we think are difficult, but it takes immense courage, dedication and patience to stand for the things you believe in, especially your love. You'll never regret it because you will always feel special as the years go by. I am wishing success for all those couples who are celebrating their first valentine's day this year.
