Bitter-sweet;

Never expected myself to ever experience these emotions - sadness amidst thankfulness.

Thankful that I'm blessed by your presence in my life, but torn that we face countless struggles to pursue this journey together.

It gets tougher with each passing day, 

our increased responsibilities and lesser time.

We start to treasure the little moments we have,

our thirty-minute quick catch ups before your lights out daily,  the short 9-11pm dinners (actually supper for you :x) that we share on Saturday nights, or even just attending service together on Sundays. 

Your efforts in accommodating to my schedule, 

your understanding in my busyness, 

your thoughtfulness in google-ing for the best eateries to satisfy my random cravings after my study sessions, you stuffing yourself although you already had dinner just to have a late dinner with me, your random but thoughtful gifts and cards..

I really appreciate them all. :') 

As we begin to lose even these little time we've for each other and start to take on the increasingly daunting tasks ahead of us, let us not lose sight of the Lord's might in all that we do. Let us hold on to His promises, His providence and His love and not fall into a state of despair :-)

Although it's really going to be trying months from now until end April in our respective lives.. but we trust He has His plans for all these. :-)
