My parents were married on the 4th of June twenty nine years ago, four months before I was born (I know what you must be thinking, hehehe!). Today is supposed to be their 29th wedding anniversary. But it doesn’t call for any celebration. They ceased to celebrate anniversaries five years ago.
I grew up a witness on how my father loved to surprise my mother on special occasions. He would send her a card by mail with very meaningful messages. He also would send her flowers. These were only the few things my father love to do to surprise my mother. We, in my family, were all living witnesses how my father loves my mother so much.
But my father did not live long enough to celebrate their anniversary. Before he died five years ago, he was planning of renewing their vows when they reach their silver years. But he died 5 days after their 24th wedding anniversary. All his plans did not materialize.
My mother remained unmarried after 5 long years of being widowed. My entire family still misses my father so much! If only he’s here today…
I still get very emotional whenever I speak of my own father. I am not a papa’s girl but I missed his 24/7 care and sweetness. If only he’s here to make their 29th anniversary a lot different…

Hi there! Thanks for your visit while I was ” away ” . Sorry to hear about the loss of your father 5 years ago. It must be hard to have this kind of loss. The good thing is that you have wonderful memories of him . Just keep those memories alive in your heart and mind. Reading your post made me think about my own father. I love him very much , but I’ve never really told him that in person. My actions might have shown such feelings. Yet, not as often as I should have. I better start doing so before the sun sets . Well, take care and God bless ! See you at my place.

@ KUYA JESSIE:
It’s ok, kuya… Salamat din! Sana nga abutin din namin ang ganyang katagal na pagsasama o mas higit pa. It wouldn’t be impossible if we always put God first place in our hearts and at the center of the relationship…

Sorry to hear about your loss, I knew exactly how you feel it hurts so much. I loss my Mom 17 years ago but I still carry her memory.I keep those memories in my heart and I still miss her. I am a Mama`s & Papa`s girl that`s why its hurt to let go. My Dad still never remarried with all these years! Happy Anniversary to your Mom and I hope am not too late!
