Happy Anniversary Sweetheart

-


Dearest Sweetheart Up in Heaven,

Its yet again time for me to sit back and live all the wondrous moments I spent with you. Completing 12 years of togetherness in spite of our distance is not a joke. You know what, it has taken me six long years to wish you on the day of our anniversary. To look back, the past six years have always been a roller coaster ride for me, especially on 10th May. I have always been my vulnerable best on this date. But as we enter our 13th year I realised things need to change now.

As we enter into our 13th year of being You and I, I cant help but remember so many insignificantly significant moments in our lives. How can I forget the confused look on the face of a young bachelor sitting in front of this room the whole night reeling under the shock that a girl had proposed marriage to him. We did live in a society back then when it was uncommon for a role reversal of this sort. I still recollect the expressions of your boss as he walked into my office, his face livid, simply because he was the last one to know we were getting married. I also remember the day we got hitched. What an event it was! A hartal with not a single vehicular movement on Kerala roads. But of course, those who mattered made it to be with us. I can never forget the pain in your eyes when you had to leave for a mission abroad while I was pregnant with our first baby. And the look on your face when you first held your daughter in your hands. Though I still hold a grudge against you for not being with me in the labour room. But then, on second thoughts, your ability to faint seeing me in pain would have done me no good so its okay. And of course the elation on your face as you saw our second baby’s movements in the ultrasound machine.

You know what, it has been 6 years since you died but I have never felt you being away. In fact, I have to convince myself that you are no longer physically available by my side. You know why? To look back, since the time we have been married, work had kept us busy in our spheres. And with you being away most of the time, I had nobody but myself to keep things going at home. So yes, I have got pretty comfortable doing things on my own since long. Thats why your death did not stop my day to day functioning. As far as emotional support is concerned, one, our daughters are devils in disguise so they keep on my toes. And before you start grinning, let me make it clear that both have taken after you. The second reason is I have always found you by my side whenever I was lonely and insecure.

So sweetheart, today, as we begin our 13th life journey together, I want you to know that no matter life’s road may take us, we will always, always remain US.

Love always,
Wifey

Grateful For A Moment

Sometimes, we end up getting what we badly need in life. It had been a long time since I took a break from work. Thanks to lockdown and proximity to office, I was one of the chosen few who relentlessly went to work. Days went by, months passed and yet, there I was busy meeting deadlines. Maybe, the fact that I was nearing burnout had reached God. Hence, it resulted in the most favourite moment of this week, a statement that I was to stay at home for 14 days. 14 days of bliss, 14 days of peace, 14 days of self development and relaxation.  For some people such a dictact would imply pain and torture. After all, who wants to leave the rat race and squander 14 previous days! Yet, for people like me (Yes, I know I am not alone!) these 14 days are a welcome break, a diversion from monotony.  So beginning today, it would be my endeavour to express my gratitude using prompts. Hence, based on today's prompt, let me describe... My favourite moment this week has been th

Apart Yet Together

I never knew I'd meet you, And that you'd look beyond my scars, Though we aren't meant to be, Time with you my happiest hours. Its been ages since I've felt this way, You touched corners I never knew, We are in two different worlds, Yet I am glad my world is you. Happy that I met you, We did meet for a reason, You are my earth I am your sky, Our paradise, our horizon. You've given me million reasons, To laugh, blush and smile, I've never felt this happy, You've made my life worthwhile. I could go on writing, Oh! So many things to say, You're etched in my soul, I'm glad we met this way. Its not easy to be us, You are wind and I am fire, But the feelings we have inside, Will cater for every desire. No matter where life takes us, Roads keeping us apart, Though separated by distance, Always connected at heart. Love can fade, hearts can break, But we are shore and the sea, Tog

Loved By A Writer

You are loved by a writer my love, You will remain alive for eons to come, in the hearts of lovers. You will be a beacon for those who wander in search of a muse, a symbol, that love is eternal. And till there is you, there is love, And a hope that for every ending, there is always a new beginning.
