my hubby

when tabby and i were newly married and expecting micael, ate (bunny) asked tabby something that's stuck to both of us until now.  she asked him:  'if the doctor comes out of the delivery room and says that there's a problem and she can only save one, who would you tell her to save?  nanny or micael?'  tabby thought long and hard and came up with 'micael. because he's a new life. kawawa naman. he should be given a chance to live.'  ate's response was:  'it sounds cold and harsh, but the church says that you should have them save your wife.  there is nothing more important than your spouse - not children, not in laws, not siblings, not parents.  you can always have more children, but you might not find another spouse again.'

and we remember that. i think that's why we're so ok... i have never doubted him - in the 6 years we've been married, there have been times when, if i were the type to be selosa, wow... i would have been all over the place.  but because he reminds me every day that i'm his only one, that i'm his love, i have no fear. 

even after 4 kids, i can honestly say that we're still more husband and wife than we are parents. in some ways, i think that it makes us better parents.  we're able to be there for the kids because we have no doubts about each other.

don't get me wrong - i'm not saying we don't fight.  we do, but we don't scream at each other.  there are tampuhans, of course, but i think it's possible for us to argue and discuss things precisely because we're so solid.

why am i writing about this?  wala lang - i was just reflecting on how lucky i am with him and thanking God for tabby... i just felt the urge to share =)
