At 4am this morning, I saw this short brown envelope at my husband’s office desk. I asked him, “What’s this?” He simply said, “Nothing.” It seemed like he was trying to hide it from me. But I was so eager to know what’s inside it so my being makulit paid off. So came the big reveal..
Love, Happiness, and Security - these three things, he say, comes to mind when he thinks of me.
My husband is the sweetest person there is. He’s caring and giving. Selfless and understanding. But having said all of this - he’s not into surprises. It was me who’s theatrical. I love giving and making surprises. I want it perfect that sometimes I would even have props. Hon’s different though. He’s this discrete type of guy that you just don’t know what’s cooking up his sleeve. I’ve always loved the uniqueness of his personality but sometimes, it feels like he doesn’t care or remember special little things at all.
Not until this morning - when he handed out to me this short brown envelope. A personalized card he made himself. All this time he had planned about giving this little surprise for me on Mother’s day. The words are so genuine, so real, full of love that I ended up crying. Yes, I cried out of extreme happiness. My first Mother’s day was a blast - hearing Saab’s first word - with greetings from people I didn’t expect to remember - and with this very special card I got from my husband. This really is a big day - so big that I would look always look forward to May 8.
And before I end this blog, let me share to you the line in my husband’s letter that caught me and brought me to tears. Here it is,

“And to think of the days and minutes will spend together, in bliss, in passionate kisses, in warm hugs and embraces, and in many memorable aspects - You and I.”
Again, Happy Mother’s day to all moms in the world! We owe our lives to you. We love you.
P.S. I’m smelling my first bouquet of flowers any day from now.. haha! Just saying.
