Speaking without words





Having attended quite a number of weddings and having friends planning to get married always make me happy that another couple has just started a journey which I enjoyed with Kevin.

Seeing the happy couple walk through the door always remind me how we, during our own wedding preparation, chose a hotel ballroom with a short aisle as both of us weren't comfortable having the spotlight on us while entering the ballroom. I remember minutes before the door opened, he squeezed my hand and smiled at me. Without words spoken, we both knew what the gesture meant ... "Well, the time is finally here and let's just do it".

2 years ago, he tried to open his eyes to look at me and again without words, we both knew what it meant ....."Well, the time is finally here and we have to part".

Most part of my life, Kevin was always the one who pushed me to better myself in life. Without his constant encouragement, nothing felt right. Now, just thinking of him is enough to make me complete my runs, overcome issues at work and cherishing my days with family and friends.

These 2 years felt like a lifetime but I made it through. Surprisingly enough, the sport which I hated is the very sport that made me overcome mental and physical barriers ... running!

I know Kevin will be proud of me... being able to complete runs AND drive myself around without getting lost :)

Dearest O***ie

We are proud of you too and am sure our dearest Kev would always be too.

Errrr, but not too sure about the getting lost part though (even with a street directory and GPS) hahaha!!! Okok, I know what you are going to say - it runs in the family and yes yes, I admit I am worse :) hee!

Love,
Scissors

P/S: With all that running, you are looking fab :)

Dearest Scissors n Teh,
It's been a long time since i heard the term "peow" :)

There is no way I can be where I am now without the both of you. Most importantly, you both provided me with so much support at the sidelines along with the family that I could dedicate all my time just to be with Kevin. The 18 months of extended time meant to much to the both of us.

Thanks for the encouragement and I will keep running as I know Kevin will always be waiting at the finishing line.

luv,
me - along with the string of nicknames
