We have created our very own history , story and legacy. Like any other journeys, we had our fair share of ups and downs in those countries that we resided. We rejoiced over the birth of our firstborn, Val but we also mourned over my two miscarriages in Shanghai. Then we had our toughest journey in parenting when Ven and Gab came along after the painful lost. As we awed by God's gifts, we struggled emotionally, physically and mentally to handle three young munchkins, all ages less than 5! Then, we sought each other's comfort when Ven went for her first surgery when she was 3! We troubled over her growth and her mysterious incessant wailings every midnights!
But we took it with stride and perseverance, of course with a pinch of fierce fights! Slowly we build our wonderful intentional family memories together with our three gorgeous children. Now, we truly enjoy our beautiful family that we know we don't deserved. We have so much flaws, baggages, weaknesses and inadequacies. Grace is the gift that He has given us! Apart from Him, we can do NOTHING.
We went through those challenges together, learning and overcoming each storms with ugly wounds and bruises that healed eventually. Our love deepened gradually, our beliefs and dreams for our family slowly emerged, our unwavering support for each other strengthened as we sailed through those inevitable storms. We have come so far, our relationship is like CACTUS. They are strong and resilient in the toughest environments . Likewise, our marriage is like this cactus. As long as we fix our eyes on Jesus , we will triumph over numerous surprised storms that come our way.
Happy and blessed 14th Anniversay my dearest hubby!
