12 Things I love About My Ex

LA NUESTRA SENORA DELA PAZ BUEN VIAJE GROTTO

1. Since the day you courted me, you've never changed --- always consistent, always persistent. And I love you even more for that.
2. The sound of your voice is so calming --- it has a way of making me feel at ease, like everything's going to be okay.
3. I love how you show me that in true love, time is freely given --- and you make me feel like I'll always come first.
4. There's something so special about the way you call me 'Baby' --- I love how it makes me feel cared for, protected, and endlessly loved. Those sweet kisses you give me, whether your heading out or just getting home, they may seem small, but they mean the world to me.
5. I love that my furbaby, Cassy, loves you too. Every time you bond and carry her in your arms, I can't help but imagine how amazing you'll be as a father to our future children. I also truly appreciate how preisent and attentive you are with Cassy --- it shows how much you genuinely cherish and accept the things and beings I hold close to my heart.
6. I love listening to your future plans --- they don't just excite me because you envision us together, they inspire me as well. Hearing you dream motivates me to dream, too.
7. I love how you care so deeply for your parents and siblings --- it inspires me to love and appreciate my own family even more.
8. I love how you brought me back to God --- how you gently encourage me to attend Mass and grow in faith. Because of you, my relationship with Him feels stronger than ever.
9. I love how disciplined you are with money --- the way you handle your finances shows just how responsible and thoughtful you are. I also love those little moments during our monthsary dates when you'd say, 'Sinama ko na talaga to sa budget.' It may be simple, but it makes me feel seen, valued, and included in your plans.
10. I love the sense of security and reassurance you always give me. You never let me feel uncertain --- you make it clear that I'm the only one you love. Because of that, I don't feel the need to be jealous or anxious. With you, everything feels calm, steady, and right.
11. You make life feel lighter, easier... and now, I can't imagine doing any of it without you.
12. I love that you are my forever home --- the place where my heart feels safest. I'm looking forward to growing old with you, side by side through every season of life.

Does Pain Ever Leave?

I see your smile, warm like dawn,
No trace of storm, as if it's gone.
You held me close when I broke trust,
And chose to stay—love over dust.

You never speak of that one night,
Of shadows stealing morning light.
You held my hand, and asked “Are you happy?”

But is the hurt still yours, not mine?

Can silence be where sorrow sleeps,
Or does it whisper in the deep?
Can love, so strong, just sweep away
The ache I gave, like tide to bay?

You look at me like I’m still whole,
Like you don’t flinch from what I stole.
But in the quiet, I still fear—
Do you smile to calm, or hide a tear?

Does pain, once planted, truly fade,
Or just grow roots in silent shade?
You chose to love, forgive, stay true...
But did my pain leave you, or you leave pain for you?

Being a mother is a full time job, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. No holidays and day-offs for the whole year. I wonder why you never get tired taking care of me and Papa. For me, you are a SUPERMOM and the Best Mom in the World!

I am very much blessed to have you as my mother. Thank you for the years of unconditional love and care you have given me. God must be really great because he gave me not just the mother I needed, but he gave me the BEST mom every child could ask for. I'm so lucky.

I love you mom with all my heart. I wish and pray that God and all the angels in heaven will keep you and Papa always safe from harm.

Please keep yourself healthy.

I LOVE YOU AND HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY MOM and to all all mother's out there!
