(25th)Silver Wedding Anniversary
I am not really the type of person who takes time in counting the years of our wedding anniversary. But my daughter Mae makes our (25th) Silver Wedding Anniversary special. Why? I’ll tell you later.
I’ll tell you first our love story and how we ended up from worst enemy to become lovers and friends.
9 years of being steady plus 25 years of married life and still going strong was perhaps a record of sort here in our country. Maybe we have grown tired of hearing other married people fight and getting separated that’s why our married life works, yes!
No! I think we become closer because we don’t discuss things that bother us but we talked them over. We spent time a few minutes before going to sleep discussing things that happened in a day.
We knew each other so well that we gave time and space when the need arise without each one asking for it. I encouraged her to go out and join her friends when she got invitations. To spend time for herself to break the monotony of staying at home mom. She does the same to me.
The Story :
She was our neighbor who was a quite type and seldom goes out of their home. My friend then was her two older sisters. I am two years older than her.
I use to call her “Labo” because she was wearing a thick eyeglasses then and she calls me “Palito” because I was thin and quite a joker during those days. Our constant quarrel and bickering makes our neighbors and friends day complete.
Our neighbors used to tease us every time our path crosses because they knew that we hated each other. I really don’t know why and how the hatred started.
When the “Kabataang Barangay” was first established by then President F. Marcos I was duly elected as the first Chairman and she was elected as one of my councilor. I was not aware that she campaign for me.
