May 5th 2025, Our 3rd year

My love, my baby, my Raquel.

Do you know what my third happiest day of my life is? It's when you came to see me in Canada. I still cannot forget the surprise when you told me you are coming to see me. I still cannot forget the anxiousness of waiting for you overnight in a shitty motel near the airport. I still cannot forget the smell of you when I hugged you in Montreal. And of course, your face when I told you that I love you and you replied 'Are you serious?' and walked out on our last day in Canada.

Do you know what my second happiest day of my life is? Our wedding day. It seems like I'm watching the videos and photos of the day pretty much every night, just smiling, laughing and feeling really sentimental. Watching you in your beautiful white wedding dress and your beautiful smile. Oh, and of course, beautiful me. Like I said, I don't remember much because I was so nervous but what I remember perfectly was the emotions that I felt. Nervous, anxious, happy, anticipation, agitation, and the fact that I was getting married to the most beautiful person in the world. When I saw you in the church when the door opened and you start walking toward me, I tried so hard to hold my emotion inside my heart.

Do you know what my first happiest day of my life is? It's the day I met you. May 5th, 2023, in Seoul. I was shy and timid, but I saw your face and smile and how you approached me. That gave me courage. When we saw each other again for the second time in that night, you yelled at me "hey", approached me with your angry smile. Maybe that's what drew our fate together because, that moment has sealed our life. When you grabbed and pulled my hand, and when you looked at me with those beautiful eyes and I felt the need to kiss you, perhaps that was our destiny, not a coincidence. After all, we crossed the entire Earth to meet each other. After, we danced in the rain, we fooled around in the streets, annoyed few (or a lot) for our craziness, we travelled together (a lot), and now we share the same bed, same house and same lazy and happy moments.

That was the day that changed everything and brought us together. The day that changed everything.

And today is our 3rd anniversary of that day.

Let's not stop being crazy. Let's not stop having fun even though you're an abuela. Let's not stop being annoying to each other. Let's not stop loving each other. Let's not stop hugging each other, kissing each other and let's not stop saying I love you to each other.

I love you so much, my love, my baby, my Raquel, my abuela, and mi esposa y mi amor de la vida.
