BIRTHSARY LETTER

19 June 2016

My Everdearest Lex,

Happy 29th birthday and Happy 3rd Anniversary sa ating dalawa.!

I can still remember kung paano mong nakuha ang "OO" ko, 3 years ago. I never wanted to say yes on your birthday, kasi I believed memories or days should be celebrated separately. But it is God's grace na maging tayo on  your birthday. As King Solomon said, "Many are the plans in a person's heart, but it is the Lord's purpose that prevails." Proverbs 19:21. So yes, it is God's plan and His amazing grace that we are celebrating today two special moments. Biro mo, isang gift na lang ang bibigay ko sayo? Laking tipid nun ha! (^_________________^)

So, what should I say to you  on this special day bukod sa greetings? I had been thinking for weeks kung ano ba ang magandang ihanda for you. Collage? (given na un) Poem? (last year na un) Surprise Gift? (wala pa kong sahod e) and ngayon ngang birthday mo na, wala akong naihanda. Bukod sa etong simpleng sulat ko sa yo na mababasa mo na lang sa BIBER.

So tutsky, pagpasensyahan mo na kung LOVELETTER muna (bawi ka na lang pag-uwi ko hehehe)

We've been together for a year and 2 months, and apart for a year and 9 months. So, mas matagal tayong magkahiwalay kesa magkasama... But, it is by God's grace alone kung bakit TAYO pa rin. Long Distance Relationship ay mahirap. It takes a lot of patience, of trust, of understanding in order for us to survive. I have my ups and downs, my lonely nights and sad days, when I think of how far I am with you, with my family and friends. At least my technology, so we can chat and call and see each other. Though sometimes, kulang pa rin (or maybe sa akin lang). Sometimes, I long to see you more, at mahirap dahil umaga jan (work mode ka na), gabi pa  sakin (tulo lway mode). Pag work mode naman ako, pagod ka na and you have to take your rest. So... it is in those little times, and pasingit-singit na kamusta mode, kwento mode sa Biber, are reminders that SOMEONE IS WAITING. It is in these little times, that we are reminded that we are loved, we are cared.

For those months that we've survived and until now we continue to hold on to that promise to "WAIT FOR ME AS I WAIT FOR YOU"

I love you Lex and everyday of my life is a life of thanksgiving to God for giving me YOU.

I will always thank God for you... for your Love, for your Understanding, for your big heart, for all your hard work (para makaipon at may pambayad ^_____________^).

Ilang buwan na lang and we will be together again and a year from now, WALA NG IWANAN.

Enjoy your day tutsky ko! Know that I am always praying for you, and for the both of us.

I miss you more than you could imagine.

Loving you always,

Joh
