Happy Birthday Tisha !! Well, this is a first! All the birthday celebrations that we’ve had so far in our family has been in the Emirates, this is the first time we’re Celebrating A Birthday in India!!
I hope that this day was all that you had hoped for and so much more!! Thank you for being a Loving Wife and an Affectionate mother to our children.
This has been our Eighth Birthday Celebration together as husband and wife! The first birthday that we celebrated since we’ve met was just before our marriage! I had to be really extra daring that time to get you a birthday present without you knowing about it 🙂 Those days of daring may be behind us (its a lot easier now to throw you a surprise since we are Living in the Same House Now!!) but still the days are sweet knowing that you are always there by my side as a faithful friend and companion- the Love of My Life!!
Back in those early days of our courtship, the song that we used to go to often was, “Dancing in the Minefields” by Andrew Peterson. Well, it has been like that sometimes,
“….We went dancing in the minefields
We went sailing in the storms
And it was harder than we dreamed
But I believe that’s what the promise is for
‘Cause we bear the light of the Son of Man
So there’s nothing left to fear
So I’ll walk with you in the shadow lands
‘Til the shadows disappear
‘Caused He promised not to leave us
And His promises are true
So in the face of all this chaos
Baby, I can dance with you
So let’s go dancing in the minefields
Let’s go sailing in the storms
Oh, let’s go dancing in the minefields
And kicking down the doors
Oh, let’s go sailing in the storms
And sailing in the storms
Oh, this is harder than we dreamed
But I believe that’s what the promise is for
That’s what the promise is for”
