A Letter to My Wife
My dearest Linda,
It was real hectic at home last two weeks with you being at hospital all the time taking care of your sick mother and me cooking, washing up and cheering you up
.
I was touched by the way you attended to your mum at bedside. You fed her with great care, helped her with bath, massaged her gently and went to washroom together with her… You did all these not only out of the obligation of being a daughter but also wholeheartedly from the caring heart of THE daughter. Several times,
I took our daughter to the hospital to see how you take care of grandma. I hope
this first hand education will bear some effect upon her.
Linda, I always know without exception that you are a good wife and a good mother. This is my first time that I have consciously seen the daughter side of you.
I must say you are a wonderful daughter as well!
In a way, I envy you, Linda, for having a mother around at your age. I was deprived of such privilege at very early age. But people say that when God closes a door, he must open a window for you. To have you as my wife is truly God blessing
and rewarding. It makes all my miserable childhood and struggling youth worthwhile! You are the very window that God has so generously opened for me through which shed a new light in my life making me start to live again!
We naturally touched upon the topic of death because of your mother’s cancer. When we talked about who should leave whom first when we get real old, you said so selflessly that you would rather see me go first because I am not as emotionally strong as you are and also because it will give you an opportunity to take care of me the same way as you are taking care of your mum. At that very moment, I
held your hands tight with tearful eyes, which demonstrated that you are right
by saying I am not emotionally strong. What a happy ending to my life it is, if,
at the end of the day, I will be able to lie in your warm arms leaving this world peacefully, gratifyingly knowing that I will marry the very same woman in another world!
On a cheerful note, we will have a much needed vacation in a couple of months. I
am planning anything and everything for it to make it a memorable one. I think
we both look forward to it with much anticipation.
I more than love you!
Take care and do not overwork yourself.
Dave
