Mahal,

Alam kong matagal mo nang hinahanap 'tong diary mo. Yeah, I took it from you when we went to my hometown. Binasa ko simula umpisa. Your entries made me jealous, happy, sad, and nostalgic and feel loved all at the same time.

Ilang beses ko na itong gustong ibalik sa 'yo but you seemed so contented with your life right now that I don't want to mess it up with the things you think are mistakes you've made in the past.

Naalala mo noong wedding natin? You're the most beautiful pregnant bride I have ever seen. Aaminin ko sa 'yo na gusto ko ring umurong noon. I was thinking that I was too young! I have my whole future ahead of me at mawawala lang ito ng ganun-ganun na lang all because of one kid! But I had no guts to go against my father. He's the law. Kung anuman ang sabihin niya, iyon ang masusunod.

Pero noong naglalakad ka na sa aisle papunta sa 'kin, nawala lahat ng pagsisisi ko. Yes, what we had may be a whirlwind romance and people might see us stupid for getting married so early in the relationship but when it's real, it's real. It doesn't take decades to know if you're in love. Sometimes, few months are enough.

I am telling you this to show you that you don't make right choices. You just choose. Your actions will determine if it's right or wrong. You made the right actions, dear. We both did.

I can't imagine my life without you, Rowell and Simone. I love you. I know you don't often hear me say it but it doesn't mean that I don't. I don't want to wear it out yet. We still have many years ahead of us.

Happy fifth anniversary,

Migs

P.S. Sorry if I made you think that I forgot. I wanted to surprise you. :)
