Forever and a Day

Spending quality time with my hubby always makes my day, I smile for no reason at all, and yes, I still giggle when I'm with him. After six years of married life, the magic is still there, and will always be there. Since I met my hubby, it has always been me, him and us...always us.

This year welcomed us with the greatest blessing we have long been praying for, I am finally pregnant with our first child. But my pregnancy is a difficult one, I need to stay here in Mnaila and being constantly monitored by my doctors, while my hubby is left in the province to tend to our business. Being physically separated from him is extremely difficult. For the longest time, I was so used to being awaken by warm hugs and gentle kisses, And though how busy our day went, we always took time to cook for each other and share warm and even cold meals together. At work, there were good and not so good days, but just knowing that I was going home to a place with so much love and affection was already enough to make my day.

it has been 4 long months since, I am in Manila, and my hubby is left in the province, though visits me here in Manila twice a month. I and our 21 week old baby boy still patiently and anxiously wait for his bi-monthly trip each and every time.

Last Holy week was particularly special because, we had the opportunity to bond, to pray, to
hug, to eat, to enjoy the silence. We explored the metropolis, we ate, we laughed, and when it
was his time to leave again for work, we hugged and cried. Next week, he will be here again,
I look forward to his short trips, because even for just a day, feels like forever...
