Happy Birthday Dear

Happy Birthday Dear.

Its soon going to be 6 months since we got married.

In these 6 months, I have lived love.

We have a pretty normal life, with our ups and downs, certainties and uncertainties, fights, movies, vacations, dinners, family meets etc etc ... and through all this, we are still getting to know each other better.... At times we are disappointed, angered, irritated, at other times elated, satisfied, happy.....and in between all this, I feel ... something beautiful happens. Every time you do that little thing, add that special touch, show that extra bit of care, be it taking care of me when I am down, helping me with the dishes when the maid doesn't turn up, giving me massages when I need them most, and many many more such things... I fall in love with you over and over again.

There are times I watch you sleeping like a baby...and in my heart I thank my stars...I could not have asked for a better life partner than you.

You make me feel so special and loved....make me feel complete. You have infused life into my life. I feel I was only merely existing before I met you. With you I am learning to live life the way it should be lived. Every day with you, in every thing that we do, there is something for me to learn, grow as a person and become better. :-)

With you I have experienced what they call " acceptance"... You love me the most when I probably deserve it the least. :-)..( am reminded of the day I carelessly lost my wallet...and you were wonderfully supportive ). You have beautifully accepted me into your life, with all my follies, all my shortcomings, and at the same time, you gently motivate me to be better...

The most beautiful thing is that with you I am totally my self. I know that no matter what...what we share will last and you will love me the way you do always...

You have given new definitions to my understanding of many important things in life...

With you, I can visualize a life full of growth, both individual and as a family..a life full of possibilities, a life full of life. :-)
