Currently suffering incomplete-blog-postitis. A condition where several half written posts lie in various states of completion, and struggle to reach that perfect finale. Some on my phone, some in the drafts folder, some in word docs on my laptop. And yet I cant seem to find the will to finish them and post it. Somehow that burst of inspiration to blog only happens when I’m at work in the midst of an inane eDM, and obviously I can’t whip the blog open and power through it. So I make mental notes of the thoughts that strike me, in the hope that I will get back home and get to it. But I seldom follow through on my hopes. tsk tsk tsk.
But I just had to stop by just now to make note. That tomorrow it will be 3 years. Since the husband and I took the plunge. Well officially at least. In my mind, I think we had long taken the plunge the day we had the shall-we-tell-our-parents conversation, because since that say I have never looked back. It has been a decision that got made in such ease and natural comfort that never once have I had to rethink, recalculate or re-evaluate what I chose.
Since then he has endured me in all my maddening glory. That he has stuck by me and never once faltered, is sign enough that he has never had to do any of the above.
So thank you VC. For loving me just the way I am. For always saving me a piece of your dessert even when you loudly declare that I should “get my own” bowl. For missing of me when you’re away even though you rarely admit it. For bothering to keep my kitchen spotless, even thought I know you couldn’t care less if it were messy. For tolerating my shower curtain antics, I-will-only-sleep-on-the-right-side madness and various other idiosyncrasies. For poking me at the start of every movie. For listening when I jabber on endlessly. For listening even when I don’t say the words. For cooking with me. For eating whatever I make. For loving me and cherishing me and making me feel special.
For believing in our dreams. For taking a chance and for living with me.
I don’t think I could ever make it up to you.
Happy 3some VC! For always and forever.
