Today marks the 15th Anniversary of my union with my beloved Bonny. Though we are apart, this is still a special day for me. I thank the Lord for these years of enriching and blessing my life with this special gift in the person of such a wonderful man.
A week ago, Bonny's mobile calendar gave out a notification alert which I believe he set up in 2004 with yearly notification set a week before Dec 16 of every year reminding him of our anniversary. The reminder reads "9th Anniversary, Botanic Garden, 0900-1200." Since we have our car in 2003, we had been going to Botanic Garden and had our breakfast at the cafeteria at the Visitors' Centre on our anniversary. This morning, despite a heavy traffic jam, I managed to make it there.I ordered a western set, the one that Bonny always ordered, and enjoying my breakfasting remembering how he taught me to eat a western breakfast in an English-Scottish way (at least that was what he claimed as the proper way to eat English breakfast).
He would take his time to cut his toast, fried egg, bacon and sausage into bite-size and then stacked them up like a mini-sandwish with his fork and knife before putting them into his mouth with his fork and enjoyed chewing it with such gusto. Then he would repeat the whole procedure untill his plate is empty:-). He has taught me well. I finished everything on my plate and givethanks to God for blessing me with such rich expereince with such rich man.
its so wonderful to have role-models from whom i can learn to love =) you're one of the precious few whom i know God has given to act as a mom "stand-in" to me. Am praying for you in this difficult period, dear pastor kim lang... you're in His very good hands! -hon-
