The Sweetest Guy

my guy

I consider myself lucky to be married to Ramir - the sweetest guy I’ve ever met. We’ve been married 3 years and he still takes my breath away. He would surprise me with candlelit dinners, flowers spelled I-L-O-V-E-Y-O-U on the bed, homecooked meals that he knows I crave. From the time we’ve been married, he never fails to text me, on almost the exact time, to ask how my day is going. He is my all-around, ever-reliable house buddy. He doesn’t mind juggling household chores with me. We take turns in cleaning the house, doing the dishes, taking care of our daughter. He is my handyman – fixes things that needs to get fixed, my perfect market companion – believes that going to the “palengke” is one of our bonding moments and he doesn’t mind lugging around with the “bayong” so I wouldn’t need to carry heavy stuff. But more that, he is the sweetest hubby because he holds my hand while we walk, kisses and hugs me just because, teaches our one-year old daughter to say “tines” after his “ happy valen…” so that they both can make my heart leap with their “happy valentine’s” greeting. Whenever he arrives from work, he would call me up in the office to tell me that my daughter would like to speak to me, and even if it’s just a babble, I hear my daughter saying “love you” and “mama” because he’s father is dictating it to her.

I love being married because I have him for my husband. I remembered how he proposed to me with three dozen roses given by three different kids at 30 minutes intervals before he arrives and presented me with a ring on bended knees. I remembered how he asked his officemates to cut paper stars and paper hearts so he can scattered it on the floor to add a touch of romance to an ordinary take-out dinner. Or how he lights up the whole living room with candles while songs from our wedding album play on the background to mesmerize me on my birthday. I remembered how he would make me listen to songs, telling me to listen intently to its lyrics because it perfectly describes how he feels for me. That’s exactly how “When I See You Smile,” “Heaven” and “Price of Love” got accepted into my list of “all time favorite songs.” And lastly I remembered that he married me even though I told him that there’s a possibility that I wouldn’t be able to bear any child because of a back operation which happened long ago. Before we walked down the aisle, he wrote a letter telling me that I am his greatest miracle, and every single day after our “I do’s,” he made me feel just that. Yes, I believe am spending my life with a sweet guy, and everyday, I thank the Lord for leading me to him.
