Happy Birthday My Darling Husband

My darling husband, it was in our wedding vows “for better or worse”, you not only showed that your promise to me rang true, when the “worse” was no longer a potential scenario but a current reality, when the worst moment of my life arrived at our doorstep so unexpectedly and when the devastating loss of my beloved Ma rocked my world, and the obligatory pain felt unending, but most importantly, you also demonstrated that what would come after the unthinkable “worse” happened, whence I have been reeling over my grief from the sudden passing of my beautiful Ma, as you stepped in to support me in every way imaginable

My dearest husband, you have been walking beside me through the most hard days of my lifetime, as you have been steady in the moments where I felt like the whole world around me was caving in, you have been here for me, consistently and compassionately, when it got tough and when it got dark, without fail and faltering, you have been here to soothe my broken heart and shine your love into it, you have been here for me, to share the precious memories about my unique Ma and to make sense of the painful new normal of life without her, and you have been honouring her by keeping her legacy with us in our daily lives

My caring husband, you have been letting me cry on your shoulder, when the grief washed over me, you have been keeping a close eye on my wellbeing, when the hurt was so acute I hardly knew what to do with myself, you have been taking care of everything in your effort to look after me, you have been standing with me in my darkness and holding me tight till I am ready to get up again, you have been accommodating and patient with me along these long gloomy paths, you have been encouraging me to reach out for support when I need it, above all, you have been giving me time and space to think, to process, and to grieve

My loving husband, in the midst of it all, you have been truly seeing me, and those ups and downs have not surprised and scared you, since you have not been running away from my suffering, but racing to meet me in it, grief has changed our relationship for better, our love has been growing stronger in this time, so, for everything you are to me and our family, for all things you have done and continue to do for me, thank you, when the worse happened, your doting presence has been showing me the light, you have been making our marriage a safe place, and you have been assisting me hold on to hope things would get better
