A Fairytale Romance

I have just completed a scrapbook that took over a month, a gift of love from me to the family i was to be part of.


Now is the time for me to share with all of you, the kind of pure and true love that Bernard and I have for each other. Instead of withdrawing from the world or trying to forget this darkest and most trying time of my life, my love for him is so deep that despite my pain, i just want to honour n treasure my memory of him, to celebrate his life, and reach out to his frens out there...

This is the last year of his life, a year filled with simple happiness, important milestones, and so much love. We lived more years in the one year we had together than many people. Much as it hurts for me to pick up the pieces of my life now, to gather up and carefully store away all those shattered dreams, i am glad for many things...

I am glad that in our time together, bernard has found the purpose in his life, looked forward to each day with such excitement, dreamt many dreams, and worked hard towards fulfilling them. We enjoyed the shyness of our courtship, the blessings of finding such a right fit, our passion for each other, the rush of adventure in our new experiences... The nitty-gritties of planning our joint investments and finances, the uncertainty of balloting for a flat, the thrill of finding our dream home and putting a check for it within a single day(!!)... the fun of shopping for a car (and bidding for our number!), the discussions from politics to parenting, the comfort of being at home, the silliness of a simple love.
Above all, we experienced the joy of a Christ-centered relationship...

We told each other how much we love and appreciate each other every day. We compliment and assure each other, respect and protect each other. Every moment was a beautiful moment to treasure. We fought, of cos, but we recognized that thru it our bond is strengthened. It is by living our lives with so much passion that he leaves me with no regrets and nothing left unsaid.

I am glad that we happened to each other... I'm glad that we'd helped each other live out many, if not all, of our dreams...
Baby, you are a gift from God. If i'd known that in the end i'll be suffering so much grief, i'll still have chosen to know you and love you.

This is our life. This is the joy we brought to each other.
What more can i ask for?

You asked me, if you had only one month to live, wat would i do?
I told you, without a doubt and without any hesitation, that i will marry you.
