Love Beyond Perfection
"Nemo dat quod non habet" this means "You can't give what you don't
have".
This
is what I've learned from my husband as I go along our simple, yet, one of the
seldom love stories untold.
I
am very fascinated of gifts especially during birthday, Christmas and other
occasions. My husband used to give earrings, necklace, signature shirts and
other valuable things I like most.
We
both work in public office, indeed, we are living in a simple way of life. We
have also misunderstandings and differences but most of the time we have lots in
common. We love adventure; we love collecting valuable things (miniature toys,
personal collections and papemelroti items), we used to go to the mall every
weekend for food trip and play in arcade. Just a simple like that, we enjoy our
life together.
One
day, it was another memorable day for me. It was a Valentine's Day. As a
normal and usual expectation, I wanted to receive a special gift from my hubby.
That day, we had our dinner date at the mall. However, I noticed he was calm and
cold and told me that he was out of budget to buy a gift but that he had a special
present at home. I was thrilled and excited for the first time when we went home.
What he did at that night was memorable. I was amazed! For the first time in my
life he made a poem written on Papemelroti paper. He chose this paper because
for him, it is very special and unique paper, simple but meaningful. The poem was composed with my full name. As I read along the poem, tears of joy fell from my
eyes.
That night, he told me that his gift is more than everything he gave unlike material things. He made a poem and dedicated it to me. This poem inspires
everyone - every woman for whom happiness is priceless and not even the material things
can provide. He gave what he had from his heart and that love "out-faded" things.
I
hope every one will be inspired by our simple love story - that life is not nourished with
things that glitter but by love and devotion in your relationship.
