| Dad and I circa 1986 |
I am writing to you just to let you know that in 3 days, I will be walking down the aisle, to marry the man I love so dearly. Mom and JV will be waiting for me at the aisle, where you would have held Mom's hand, and walk down with me.
Things have been very busy lately, as the day lingers just around the corner. You know that we have been independent in preparing everything. I feel that somehow you are proud of what we have done, preparing and organizing everything. Well, what can I say, I had probably got that from you. Remember when we put up those parties as home: birthdays, Christmases and New Years, and even Sunday lunches? Somehow, I feel I'm so used to planning gatherings and parties because of those we had when I was kid. There are times that I think of how you would plan this day: What would you have done, your inputs, your vision, how would you have seen the whole thing. And I feel so sorry that you were not here to do what I think would have been one of those special occasions you would plan for months.
It would not be as big as those we had before - and I trust that you know why. As much as we wanted everyone to come, our pockets can only accommodate a few. I hope they understand, and would not think that they do not mean anything to us... I did invite the "main-stays" of our parties - I just hope they would come.
As I write this letter, I remember the days that I would write letters to you when you were in the US. Those would be lengthy letters with some 2-3 pages, telling you how my day went. I miss those days, and I just hope that I can just do that every single day, especially now that we on with Cosa Nostra. I would look forward to getting your reply from the postman, and would sometimes bring that to school, and write my reply right then and there. Now, I'm in the office, and just taking advantage of some free time I have, before I get back to writing modules.
You probably know that things have not been really easy for us. But, it's okay. You don't need to worry about Mom and JV... We will still be together, just like what you wanted us to be. And no matter what happens, we will stay together. And I somehow feel relieved, because at last, there would be, officially, a man of the house. He's a good guy, and I know you know that. I know you did not mean these things to happen, and you could have done something had you known these coming, but I guess that's just the way it is.
I would be taking the day off tomorrow so that I can help the Other Guin finish everything. We still have some table toppers to finish, ammos to pack, and pictures to print. I still owe Ate Ces (our OTD) some lists, which we will talk about tonight, right after work. By the way, I have been into thinking lately, about being an OTD, but I'll tell you about it some other time. I may not be able to drop by your apartment before the wedding, but we will as soon as we get back.
I miss you so, Dad. I really wish you can be here. Luv you!
xoxo,
Miah
