My hubby’s family and mine is the complete opposite. We observed that my father never runs out of ideas to surprise our mom with love notes and gifts. They’re always in love with each other and never hesitates to show their love for each other even in front of us children. It’s the reason why we all grow up loving and kind. We always appreciate our parents and always say “i love you” to them.

My hubby’s family is “silent”. I mean , they don’t talk much but they’re very good people. Every time I visit them before, they’ll only talk when I ask them but they see to it that I won’t go home empty-handed. As the eldest of 5 and the only one in his family who earned a degree, his family has high regard on him. His parents respects his opinions when they meet family problems. Though my hubby doesn’t say ‘I love you” to his parents all the time, he showed it through actions. He doesn’t have any problems with his parents so far and I don’t have any problems with them either.

this is the only photo I’ve got of my hubby with his parents

My hubby doesn’t know at first how to say “I love you” to me (it took over a month before he actually said it to me ) but later on learned how to be “showy” with his love when he observed my family. As he became a father, a day won’t pass without saying “I love you” to our son. He’s such a loving daddy and willing to sacrifice for the sake of his family. In fact, after I gave birth, he didn’t renew his contract so that he could take care of our baby. At that time, I couldn’t stopped from my work because our VISA would be cut-off if I’ll do so and my family’s VISA is dependent on me. The nanny that is supposed to take care of our baby isn’t available at that time and we’re not willing to leave our son to a nursery as young as one month so my hubby volunteered to take care of our son. He did it so well and I’m so proud of my hubby. He’s the one who experienced sleepless night. Honestly, he’s the one who bathed Hyzyd until he’s six months! He’s Hyzyd’s playmate and favorite storyteller. Maybe this is the reason why Hyzyd is much closer to his dad than me. Maybe this is the reason why his first word is DAD and not Mom. Maybe this is the reason why when we fetched him up after school he met his dad first. He’s restless when his dad is not around. It seems that his world evolves on his dad but when sleeping time came, he couldn’t sleep without his mom by side, I wonder why.

the love of my life
