1991 - First year of college. And I heard the laughter. I just had to find out who it belonged to. It belonged to you. I'm glad I found out. :-)
1992 - You came into my life. You became a dear friend.
1993 - We fell in love. We made some nervous promises, we didn't know what the road ahead held for us.
1994 - Graduation. The big bad world waited for us. We held hands and promised to stay together.
1995 - While I did my Masters, you worked; took care of your family.
1996 - Some ups, some downs. We managed to brave it together.
1997 - My first job. The going wasn't easy, but you were with me, and that's all that mattered.
1998 - We got married. A big sigh of relief for both of us. Finally we made it!
1999 - Turbulence in work. I lost my job. You held yours. But mostly you held my hand tighter. I can never thank you enough for it.
2000 - We found it hard to make ends meet. But we had each other. Most importantly, I had you.
2001 - I wasn't heading anywhere with my career. I was distraught. You held me firmly and pushed me to do better.
2002 - You gave us the most precious gift one could have - Aayushi! :-)
2003 - Things were getting better. But you decided to stay home and take care of the little one. I didn't want you to sacrifice a great career. You didn't call it sacrifice. You called it a joy-ride.
2004 - Our little one was growing up. And you were there for both of us. We braved some rough weather.
2005 - In between changing jobs, the one thing that didn't change was our love.
2006 - My lucky break. All because of you. But I had miles to go. And your love was the fuel. That was enough.
2007 - Things were settling down. We looked back at how we'd built our home with love and care. And Aayu made it all the more better.
2008 - You decided to pursue your passion for music. I'm so glad you did.
2009 - Another year, another milestone. But we're far from done. We have a lot to look forward to. I'm sure I'll do it with you by my side.
This Saturday (14th) is when you first came into this world, years ago. Probably the best valentine gift God could've given me? We're gonna be away from the online world that day, right? So in advance, Happy Birthday my love!
