a love letter..

A LETTER TO THE FUTURE HUSBAND
By Vienna Olga Parce


To my ‘the one’,

I wish you to be the happiest man ever when you married me. I hope you’ve always dreamed of me just like how mother have always dreamed how my husband-to-be would be like. I hope you won’t regret that day you met me, that day when you knew my name, and that day you offered me that first kiss.

My parents’ marriage is not that successful. I’ve always dreamed though that once I grow up, I’d be able to reunite them. I failed. I know they both loved each other, at least then, when they were younger. But to us, I hope we’d love each other until the end. I hope we’d be together through all the good and the bad times. I hope that we two would never be a failure.

Let me be the woman you dreamed to be the mother of your kids, the woman to whom you’ll wake up with, and the woman you’ll be growing old until your last breath.

I am an only child. Pamper me with the care that my mom has always given me. Please pamper our kids too with the love that they deserve. Let us raise them well, together. Let us make them grow like how flowers bloom and how they give fragrance to everyday.

As a kid, I never had a father figure except for my grandfather whom I’ve always adored. Honey, let’s make a deal. Please don’t let our kids be like me. Be always there for them. Be always there for us. Let us together make them feel that we are the best parents alive.

I may embarrass you when sometimes I’d act like a man. Please forgive me for being that way for I’ve always loved to be as strong as a man. I needed that to feel tough. I needed that to endure the days before I met you. I expect you to be stronger than me, to be someone I can lean on, next to Him, next to Him up above.

Let’s send our kids to schools that would hone their talents and skills to the fullest. But let us not pressure them. Let us make them enjoy just like how we’ve been especially during our college years. Let us make them love what they do, and let them love to learn not just in school but also in everyday experiences they spend with people.

I would like to admit this to you. Someday I’d like to be back in my province and live a simple life there. If you would agree, let us build our house there. I don’t like a big house. I just want a big family – a big happy family. You’ll always remember the number. It’s the one that you’ve always laughed about my dreams back then.

Although you might not agree, I’d still be pursuing my childhood dream. I hope this doesn’t freak you out. We will still be together you know. This is also for us. There will always be news and I don’t want to busy myself with a random schedule. It may take time but I’d really want to help the weak, those people who’s been always taken for granted. You know I’ve always wanted doing this. You may still say I am being so idealistic, but someday, you’ll see, I am serious.

My mom has always feared the day that I would leave her for a man. She’s always feared about what my grandparents and her siblings would say about how she raised me. She’s been always afraid that when I grow up, I’d forget about her. She’s been always afraid that when I get to learn and acquire new things, I will be all changed. Let us not make her fail. Tell her how much I love her, always. Please love and take care of her, too. She’d love you, I know.

I’ve always prayed to God that someday I’ll meet you. My mom has always prayed for you, too. You are worth the wait. I am so sure about that. Thanks to Him he made me wait. If not, I may have married the wrong man – that man who’s not as near perfect as you are. I do not regret marrying you, and I wouldn’t surely regret having my kids with you. You make the best part of my life and I hope you’ll always do.

Thanks for everything. When time comes that I may leave before you, please never forget me. Promise me that. That’s the simplest thing I wish from you.

P.S. I love you. :)
