Babycakes

“Nothing is more practical than finding God, that is, than falling in love in a quite absolute, final way. What you are in love with, what seizes your imagination, will affect everything. It will decide what will get you out of bed in the morning, what you will do with your evenings, how you will spend your weekends, what you read, who you know, what breaks your heart, and what amazes you with joy and gratitude. Fall in love, stay in love, and it will decide everything.”

– Fr. Pedro Arrupe, SJ

It’s not everyday we get an opportunity to be cheesy, being that we are one of the few people who abhor too cutesy cheesy stuff. Today however’s an exception coz you turn 22. (Ha-ha, as old as I am!) To enumerate everything I’m thankful for about you and our relationship would be the same as writing a novel. Though we now have bad days more often than ever, the list of beautiful things ironically gets longer. Yes, you still get my idiosyncratic thinking and my eccentric quirks. But I think you understand and try to understand me more than ever. The stories we share are more personal. Our relationship has gotten more intimate in a non-sexual way. It’s as if we’re two souls together in one. One can’t be without the other.

To my sungit shock absorber, taga kanchaw, favorite patient, sole confidante, y chromosome friend, best friend, and husband-to-be (YOWN).. Happy 22nd birthday! Though there are no birthday cakes and care packages sent today, know that I love you in such a final and absolute way. Always and forever, babycakes.
