(this pic was taken by our son at Ontario,Ca)
I happened to wake up very early dawn at 1:37 to be exact. I usually experienced this specially if I sleep early during the night. My husband and son were still very sound asleep. I did my morning task, making the kitchen tidy, arranging my husband's dvd collection as well as our son's STAR WARS dvd collection,too.... I happened to take a look at newly rented dvds by my husband. I was touched because he rented the NIGHTS IN RODANTHE by Diane Lane and Richard Gere( I love their teamup started with the movie UNFAITHFUL). If I remember it right I always reminded him to rent the dvd because i missed to see it in widescreen. Everytime he rents dvds, he always forgets and sometimes he will give reasons like" SORRY PARTS, THE DVD IS OUT" ...Well, I believed him then. But anyway, I realized this might be one of his surprises he promised last night. They had a father and son bonding last night , that's why I slept while waiting for them playing PS2....Well, well...special thanks to my hubby...........To my excitement, I gave myself a treat,,"I WATCHED IT WILL FULL ENTHUSIASM (like a kid though{hehe)...I enjoyed the silence of the dawn...To make the long story short,,I found myself crying and sobbing to describe it perfectly...I maybe sound so dramatic or sentimental but it's just ME....I may not be in the same situation but the parts and parcels of emotions and realities of life specially nowadays are vividly true. The following are my own realizations after watching the movie(you may agree or disagree):
1) That a wife's happiness is just so simple" TO FEEL JUST BEING LOVED" and BEING APPRECIATED FOR THE SACRIFICES DONE FOR THE FAMILY"
2)For a Marriage to work,IT'S A TWO-WAY THING (NEVER TAKE EACH OTHER FOR GRANTED, ALWAYS BE WITH EACH OTHER NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENED)
3)Romance should be rekindled everyday not just in moments of ordeal or any problems that might come along during married life.
4)Do not wait for that time to let other person that came along the way fill in that gap or longing of to love and be loved. Do not let Infidelity cross that line of loving .
5)Friendship is a very important factor in a relationship, to have someone to talk to about your feelings , undertakings, and just by accepting you as being the person you first met.
6)A woman's simple dream is to be a good wife and a good mother. That's why Dianne Lane in this movie was hurt so bad because of the betrayal.She thought she did everything right for her family.
7) Talk openly to your kids what's happening if things really won't be in its proper place or things don't happend the way you wanted it to happen...
In ADDITION, LET GOD BE THE CENTER OF YOUR RELATIONSHIP.....IT ALWAYS WORKS!..Thanks to my hubby for still the same person , from the first time we set eyes on each other...We are partners in so many ways that's why we called each other PARTS as our term of endearment so to say..We are the best of friends...We did have moments of ordeal in our almost 16 years of WONDERFUL FRIENDSHIP ANG MARITAL BLISS (including our bf-gf days) but that's how all relationship goes. But what is more important is ,,,,we know best on each others strong points and weak points, and somehow managed to blend it..PRAYERS bond us together sharing the same vision for our son, family and family back home... We just have to HOLD ON....
