Karen, you are the joy in my life. Looking at you tells me that God intended for us to find each other. Believe me when I say you are sobra maganda. From the time we met you have made me feel alive. You have already provided me a life time of memories. When I close my eyes I see you smiling at me in the mirror of a tricycle. I see you seated next to me in a crowded bus or jeepney. I see you in the kitchen getting cooking tips from your grandmother. When I listen with my heart I hear you screaming and laughing while riding the Jet Ski. I hear you laughing that infectious laugh you have. Or I hear you whispering mahal kita in my ear. But the best part of all is now when I open my eyes you are here with me, and seeing you makes me want to never close my eyes.

And yet with all you have already given me, we are just beginning and as the years pass I know we will fill our minds and hearts with so many more memories, and they will be all the sweeter because I can share them with you.

I love you.
