Happy Together

by | May 30, 2007 | John Ong Living, Photo | 21 comments

Nine years ago, this very day, we met for the first time in person.
Had our first date.
Anticipated his arrival. His champagne-colored Ford Explorer.
Hien Vuong, a Vietnamese restaurant in town.
We hugged.
Watched The Wedding Banquet ???Ƭ together. His head on my lap.
That’s how it started.
I still can’t believe that it has been nine years. It only felt like a couple of years ago.
We are lucky. We are in love. We are happy together.

    “The most wonderful of all things in life, I believe, is the discovery of another human being with whom one’s relationship has a growing depth, beauty, and joy as the years increase. This inner progressiveness of love between two human beings is a most marvelous thing; it cannot be found by looking for it or by passionately wishing for it. It is a sort of divine accident, and the most wonderful of all things in life.” Hugh Wapole, Sr. (1884 – 1941)
