i choose to love you..

Oh I just realised this is my 101th happy post! Yay! So many things to be happy about! Anyway, I'm typing this while someone's finally gone to get some shuteye after trying desperately to stay awake to accompany me.

Thanks dear, your efforts are appreciated. I'm sorry for the times that I'm such a grumpy pig, especially recently when I'm sick. Just wanted to say I'm really thankful for your patience and still never cease to be amazed at the times you return my frustration and anger with gentleness.

There are times where you upset or annoy me and then innocently ask me why I'm angry. I'm never sure I have strength to stay mad at you, not knowing whether to laugh at your naivety or to cry at your lack of understanding.

And then I remember all the beautiful times that we spent doing quiet time together, the times on webcam where we just stare at each other, the times that you do things to make me laugh, the way you tell me bedtime stories to put me to sleep, and I realise you mean much more than a silly argument. Despite the distance, each morning I wake up, I find more and more reason to love you.

Through HIM, I learn your flaws and weaknesses, but HE gives me strength to endure. Many times I wonder why, but it seems HE knows me better than anyone else. HE has revealed much to you and even as I ask HIM to show me how, I ask HIM to teach me to love you in HIS image.
HE is our superglue, our daddy God, our protector. And because HE loves you, I love you. Because HE taught me to, I choose to love you.
