17 Years Ago

It has been 17 years since we began this journey together, and today, I find myself overwhelmed with gratitude. Through the highs and lows, the joy and pain, we have remained united. Looking back, I am amazed at how far we’ve come. We have built a home filled with love, respect, and resilience. Our three children are living reminders of the life we’ve built—one filled with hope and strength, even in the face of adversity.

Marriage, as we have learned, is not always easy. We have walked through storms that tested our patience, our love, and our commitment. But instead of breaking us, those moments made us stronger. There were days when everything felt like it was falling apart, yet we held on—not just to each other, but to the promises we made. Through all the challenges, we discovered the true meaning of partnership.

Today, the economic situation may not be in our favor. Times are tough, and the future is uncertain. But even in difficulty, we continue to survive together. We choose each other every day, and that choice gives us strength. Our bond as a family remains unshaken. We support each other, laugh together, and lift one another up when life gets heavy.

Our romance hasn’t always been smooth either. Love evolves with time, and so have we. There were seasons of distance and misunderstanding, but also moments of deep connection and renewed affection. Through it all, we’ve remained faithful and united.

Life must go on, no matter what. And with you, I know we can face anything.
