dearest mommy and daddy


Happy silver wedding anniversary!

Aside from being great, wonderful and cool parents, I admire the two of you for being able to stay together for 25 years. I know your relationship isn't perfect and although you've managed to leave your kids out of it, I know you've gone through some rough times.

After 25 years, I'm happy that you still share kilig moments, tabi pa rin kayo matulog, nagiinarte na parang magboyfriend-girlfriend pa lang, nagkikilitian, nagkukurutan, naghaharutan, pasimpleng nagbabastusan (malalaki na anak niyo, naiintindihan na namin yan), nagkikiss pag bagong dating ng bahay, naghoholding hands.

In short, kahit dalwampu't limang taon na kayong nagsasama, masayang couple pa rin kayo and it really means so much to us to see that our parents love each other and that they're happy together. That's one major reason we grew up happy and angst-free. Aside from that, we grew up believing in love.

Thank you for sticking together and for loving each other. Even if we never say it, we appreciate you not only as parents but also as a couple, as lovers. Although may ewwww factor pag iniisip namin yun, we'd like to let you know that deep inside, we're happy that you're the PDA-type-harutan-lambingan type of couple. Seeing you like that makes us feel secure and gives us assurance that everything will be okay.

Hindi lahat ng bata blessed na magkaron ng parents na gaya niyo. And I thank God that our family's our family.

I love you both.

Love,
Trina

Thank you, Trina. I am teary-eyed reading your letter, so happy we have affected our children esp you in such a positive way (which was in our plans, of course).

I am so lucky to find the man that I really love and have wonderful children with him, and any flaws he just might have ( everyone has some) is compensated by his goodness and love for me too.

Let us all thank God for that too.

Love you,
Mommy
