Yesterday was my first anniversary being a married man...to my wife Hong.
Now understand, i have no problem expressing my emotions in a romantic nature... and do so often! Yesterday when she skyped me...she was very excited to express her joy at this milestone in our marriage. %#!!%#@!...I totally FORGOT!! I looked at her with total disbelief, started to pound my head! Then as most men would do...begged for her forgiveness...even though I didn't deserve it! Even her son had called her to wish her a happy anniversary. She didn't acknowledge my poor attemp at being pathetic...it never fazed her.
Hong continued to smile, laugh and sing with joy and happiness. She mentioned that the day before was our anniversary in china and that today was the special benchmark here in america.
I don't know if our love we share conquers all, or that she was allowing me to save face...I'll never know? But i did receive insight as to how understandings or mis-understandings might be dealt with or rectified. Family harmony, trust, and love will always prevail with this woman, even with a lug-head like me at times. Hong knows and understands my heart very well, and with that...comes forgiveness.
I feel very lucky to have a woman like this!
Chris
