I have never really cared much for birthdays. To me a birthday was just another day that one became a day older in life and that there wasnt that much special deal to it. Just as pretty much everything else in my life, I have come to be humbled and to find myself in a repentant state. I never realized how much a birthday can mean to a person. Now perhaps it was just the fact that it had been 5-6 years since a real birthday has come along but it didnt take long to realize how special of a day it means to my Valeria. It wasn't hard to realize how much it REALLY meant to her when on Wednesday she told me, many times, the mail had come while she was out picking up her niece from school and they had left a package notice. She was very excited to see what has awaiting for her birthday, but had to wait another day to see what it was. When I called her after getting out of class on Thursday, it really hit me when it was the VERY FIRST thing that she said when I called her "I already got the package.. Should I open it?" As I could tell from her great joy of even receiving a box for her birthday, I said yes. It was as though sorrow and pain were never a part of life when she started opening her presents. I mainly wish I could have been there to see her open them and see the expresions on her face, alas, I know that there are many more birthdays ahead that I can surprise her and have GREAT moments of joy. Next to Valeria I was one of the happiest people on earth at the time. Her joy overflows my heart with tears of joy and happiness, it was perhaps one of the greatest moments in our courtship. I never realized how small and simple things bring great things to pass in this form.
I have learned so ma
ny new and wonderful things because of Valeria and her happy occasions in life, she has taught me, perhaps, more than anyone else about how to be happy and life a great life. I have also learned from these occasions that if she is THAT happy when she gets a good birthday, or little thoughtful reminders... that if I happen to forget for even a second of how important she and her life are to me, she will quickly remind of such important facctors of life. It was also great to the the important of life and being brought into this world. Had she not been born on that day to that family, Soto that is, then perhaps we might not have ever crossed paths and all the great and bad times we have had would not be a part of my life. You can argue that I would have found someone else in another part of the world that would have done the same, perhaps more or less. I do not really believe so, perhaps I might have found another, however, my life might have been a bit different than what it is, and was, when i found Valeria. I would have been molded into someone else to meet the needs of another, I would not have the same experiences that I have with Valeria. All the things we have done and been through mean everything to me. I am glad God molded me to fit the needs of Valeria, I just hope and pray that my body will continue to mold and form with hers. I love her with all my heart and hope to be with her for ETERNITY!
