Dearest Love,
I figured, I had to tell you about this blog instead of waiting for me to die before you get to read them is.... much better. Because in life, you just never know what will happen!
And the good thing about this blog is that I don't necessarily have to keep my letters long. I can make it short, make it random, make it whatever I want to tell you or remind you when I am long gone.
You know, I'm not sure if you noticed - every morning, when you go to work, since we moved to the new apartment on the riverfront (12th April 2009), I've always made it a point to "go to work" with you. How? Well, aside from our morning ritual of kissing bye-bye at the parking lot gate........ then we get into our own vehicles (me in my beat-up junk of a Toyota and you in your motodop Daelim)... Firstly, I will wait for you at the parking lot gate..... and then when I see you approaching on your bike from my rearview mirror, I turn out onto Sothearos Blvd. I go at 10km/hour...... just so that I can drive alongside you, or else at least to be able to see you a little ahead of me..... sometimes, we honk at each other to do a little wave.. or you will make the silly "peace" sign.... or I will stick out my tongue at you........ anyway, onwards we go, down Sothearos Blvd... until you turn right into Sihanouk Blvd. and I head on straight.
I don't actually know why I do it. It's just nice for me. And when I see you turn right, I always say a prayer - (ok, sometimes, I forget) - that you will be safe, you will ride safe and come back to me in one piece......
And you always do. Because you promised me that you will live longer than me :) And I believe you will do everything you can to keep that promise.
Always,
Girl

Dearest Love,
I just have to write today :) Sudden inspiration.
You know how since you started your football and you have games every Wednesday nights and I would be asleep by the time you come back? It's nice that when you get into bed, you search for my lips and you kiss them and you snuggle closer to me and you hug me and fall asleep that way yourself :) Everytime you do that, ok, well, most of the time when you do that, you stir me awake.... and even though most everything else is a blur, I can only recognize you doing that to me. And it is comforting and soothing all at the same time. So, thank you, Love. It's nice.
Last night, I was having this fabulous dream of being a CSI. I was breaking a difficult case. Or in the middle of it, I think. And it was dark and there was all this blood. It must've been hot and stuffy in my dream, because I was sweating - as according to you. You woke me up, when you brushed my hair back with your hands..... and you must've noticed me sweating.... and you checked my body temperature on my forehead.... and you went to switch on the fan.... made sure I was comfy.... and hugged me to sleep.
I was in the reverie of my CSI dream.... everything was a blur and you know how sometimes, when you're dreaming and you're half awake and there's a really blurred line between reality and dream? And you brushing me, and hugging me and checking on me..... they seemed so surreal at those moments. BUT still comforting.
And of course, I woke up and re-confirmed the "events" of the night before with you. And it's true! You really did all that!
You're the sweetest.
Always,
Girl

Dearest Love,
It is 37 months and 4 days..... since we got together.
Have you been happy enough since then?
I guess, it's only normal to know that things could be better, but I'm not complaining about the now.
If anyone were to ask me the question - what is it about YOU that's got me love-struck?
I think it is the fact that you always enjoy making me laugh. And while I know you endeavour to do so on a daily basis, it seems so natural and so effortless. And having my daily dosage of laughter is absolutely the best thing in my life :)
And I have to thank you also, for the relentless love and support you have given me thus far. You know, whatever I seek out to do, whatever I think I want to do, you have never once told me "No" or said anything negative at all. None! And I truly appreciate that. It's like, I have the guts to take some risks, but you are the strength that gives me the courage to make the leap. To spread my wings and fly.... whilst I am the idiotic balloon huffing and puffing up in the air, you are the anchor that keeps me grounded, that keeps me from flying away into the oblivion.
It's funny - even something as simple as me trying to be a so-called DJ on Facebook. You have been a fan and you tell me it's a great idea. Even though, there are possibly some who think it an idiotic waste of time! Or when I did my first triathlon, you were there cheering me. And then, you took it a step further and joined me in the race (remember how you nearly drowned in your first race??) Or when I am struggling to find a solution for my businesses and you come up with just about the most brilliant idea..........
I think our characters are pretty different. You're quiet, I can be pretty loud. You're steady and I'm restless. You're patient, I'm definitely not. You lead quietly, I lead ... bossily. I guess, to the rest of the world, it always seem like you are two steps behind me - the man behind the power-woman. If only they knew - how we played the tag-team, the "good cop-bad cop" to perfection....... but it doesn't matter, right, love?
Because you know and I know... that you ... are MY man. In more ways than one. I really would be lost without you. Just imagine that balloon flying off uncontrollably into the skies, without an anchor.
I am proud of you and I stand proud next to you. I love you.

Dearest Love,
Today, I created a blog to store the love letters that I will write to you. Maybe you will get to read them all, one day - when I am no longer around.
I guess I am a stickler for all things romantic and sentimental. You know that already.
Over the years that we have been together - pre-wedding and post-wedding, we've written thousands and thousands of emails to each other. And of course, letters too. But I realised, of late, those romantic letters have not just dwindled, they've disappeared! Which is why, I got this brilliant idea to create a blog - which will have all the love letters I will begin writing again for you, stored in it :) It's perfect - the blogsite will be like a,..... keeper of letters! :)
Way before Nicholas Sparks wrote The Notebook, long before they made PS I Love You into a movie, I've already always dreamt of there being a day, one day, that the person I love will be sitting down in his little rocking chair in the garden, a cup of hot tea brewing on the coffee table and him - the love of my life, reading each and every letter that I had written for him. Just that, those brilliant romance writers articulated it faster and better :)
So, this first introduction letter - not so romantic. It is after all, an introduction :)
I'll keep it brief and short. Everytime I am inspired to write to you, I will.
Love,
Girl
