Ok, I think I’m on a special day streak!
Monday was Children’s Day, Tuesday was Parents’ Day, yesterday was Family Day and today is Couples’ Day.
Couples – that’s how families begin. Like they say it takes two to tango.
Here we see a couple by the water sharing an umbrella together against the rain. That’s how it should be – sharing together, whether it be laughter, tears, joy, sadness, jubilation, frustration…or even who’s wearing the pants (incidentally both are!).
I would like to dedicate today’s shot to a guy named Lawrence or Law for short. He is the husband of a fellow p-blogger in AM3, Tyan. Yesterday he made a guess appearance on Tyan’s p-blog by writing an encouraging A*** essay on why they chose to do what they do because of their convictions in response to others who had too easily made careless and insensitive remarks about their decisions. I salute him for being the man and standing up for his lady! Here is an example of what a husband should be – to honour, to protect, to hold, to support, to care, to encourage, to comfort and to cherish, whether in health or in sickness till it’s time to go over to the other side of heaven. He has set a good example for all men and of course their two boys! What a heritage they are making as a couple! Law, I salute you! Tyan, babe, you've got the man!
Here’s wishing Law & Tyan and all couples a Happy Couples’ Day!!!
P.S. Oh I have another special day for tomorrow. Want to guess what it might be? Make a guess and come find out tomorrow. :)
