Meeting you was fate; it was wonderful, miraculous and indeed sweet serendipity. For some, it was nothing but luck and plain coincidence; but for me it was something revelatory about the notion that miracles like this do exist. Naaalala ko pa, meron akong nabasa noon na "Miracles happen everyday." Nakatira tayo sa isang bilog na planeta na umiikot sa isang malaking bola ng apoy na katabi ng buwan na kumokontrol sa dagat. Isn't that enough for us to believe in miracles? Miracles happen more than we understand. Sometimes we have faith for big miracles that forget that everything we do is the result of something small, sometimes it's what we believe in.

Sometimes miracle is the life you're living, sometimes it's finding your great love. Sometimes miracle is as simple as sharing your eternity with that person. Miracles happen everyday and I know that our story was the biggest miracle that ever happened to me.

I still remember when your operator asked me why I love you and my answer was "you don't always have to know the reason why you love someone, so much." But then I still answered with all the right reasons...

I will love you always, and I'm not angry nor sad for feeling that way. I love you in a way no one could ever understand. You'll always be the love that fills the gap; the love I'll always be proud of. I was just 2nd year in junior high but I feel like I had already found the greatest love of my life. I was so ugly, hindi ako nagaayos nung times na yon. I had no one who compliments me the way you do. But still, I felt so complete. You made the love within me, impossibly complete.

And for that I wanted to thank you for all the good things you made me feel. It will live on in my heart for a long time. And I want you to know that no matter what happens, you'll always hold a special place in my heart and that spot is yours, forever. I believe I always have your hand on any path I go, and ikaw na rin ang magbibigay ng kamay ko sa next kong mamahalin. But know that, habang wala pang iba, this heart is still yours, all yours. Happiest 20th birthday, my man. I love you so much.
