Hypertension Mantra

I got this card on November 22, 2002 for my birthday. We just moved in to this new house. I feel so loved when you hold me. I close my eyes and the rest of the world disappears. Then it's just you and me, and that's all I need. Dearest Mahal, I've seen how much you've sacrificed and the countless times you've gone out of your way to be of service and assistance. I know and I feel how much you love me. The past two months have made me very happy and contented because finally, I know I have my wife with me. Your thoughtfulness is overpowering, your concern for my welfare and health, your attention to my needs; and the value you give to the home we are building, are all elements of love, affection, respect and consideration that are touching as much as they are fulfilling. The selflessness you have displayed can not perhaps be matched nor surpassed. I know that with the kind of support and mutual love, we can accomplish much and overcome obstacles that may exist. I hav

This hand-made card was given on my birthday for 2001 when we had almost nothing. Dearest Mahal, These days remind me of those times when we had nothing for an entire day except tapa and coke at Parks and Wildlife; and of course, togetherness. Yet these are some of the happiest, most memorable days I recall now and then. You might argue that we have other children to think about now than only ourselves during those times, but we did have other children then, and we managed rather well. You may argue further that age and opportunities have somehow overtaken us at this time; yet our age has distinct advantages and opportunities in this very period. I don't know if we will ever be rich, but I seriously doubt that we will ever be poor. Money to me, is unimpressive. People worry when they have it and worry when they don't. With or without it, I will never change the way I feel for you. It is the steadfast stabilizer of an evolving persona amidst a troubled society in a changing worl

HERE'S HOPING THAT OUR LIVES TAKE OFF TO BETTER HEIGHTS OF FULFILLMENT AND BROADER MEANING! Dearest Mahal, I am not certain if this day this year, has any significance for you; as I am certain if this card from me would would have any significance at all to you. It does to me on both counts. I sahll always be tahnkful for the day you were born-up to this time; and I shall always treasure all the times we've had together for they were the best years of my life. What we have and what we went through may have brought out the best and the worst in each of us but these are part of the elements that make a rich life. I do not believe that the past 16 years can be merely reduced to a single "pattern" of events founded on financial considerations. It holds a lot more meaning for me than that. I am sorry if that is all you see in it. I hope that perception will change. A single pattern would have made it all senseless and wasteful. As for playing with emotions, my concern is t

I'M GOING CRAZY! I CAN'T STAND IT! I WANT TO BURST THROUGH YOUR DOOR, GRAB YOU BY THE COLLAR, RIP YOUR CLOTHES OFF, THROW YOU ON THE SOFA...WISH YOU A HAPPY ANNIVERSARY...and a thousand years more! "G" July 27, 1996 Dearest Mahal, The search for a core direction in terms of income generation normally creates the tendency to divert focus to material necessities. Whether start-up or on-going; material gains are at times pursued for its own sake. I'm grateful that this has not happened to us yet-- although I admit I was slightly diverted to it in the past. Our search for direction in the current situation are at different poles. You are determined to move at a faster pace since you feel you have slept for so long; while I, on the other hand feel cheated at what had transpired after working so hard for several months. One direction remains firm for me and that is the direction of my feelings. Happy Anniversary. I know it is rather inauspicious but an anniversary nonet

I AM GRATEFUL FOR YOU YOUR LOVE. Everybody needs that one special person who'll love you just for you without wanting to change a thing. Everybody needs to feel that, anything you dream is possible, and that you can accomplish whatever you set your heart on. That person...is you. Those dreams are happening because you've believed in me... you've dreamed along with me. You'll never know how much you mean to me. HAPPY BIRTHDAY. "G" Dearest Mahal, Sometimes, there are situations when you come accross a card that practically says it all --- leaving nothing else for you to express spontaneously. However, with you that hardly ever happens because I cannot say "I love you" and "Thank you", enough. Love, "G"
