Happy Birthday My Baby

Happy birthday baby. I hope today I can make our day as special as you dream of it to be and I hope it reminds you of just how much you mean to me.

Over the past few years and especially over these past few weeks I’ve been reflecting a lot. About us. Our life. The memories we’ve made and the things I’ve come to understand more deeply with time. One memory in particular kept coming back to me. Maybe you remember it too.

When we first started going out I surprised you with a little website. It was super basic not fancy as it was a long time ago haha just something made with love. It had a timer counting how long we’d been together and it was called something simple but meaningful

We used a free domain because we were savy even back then. I searched for it so many times but the provider doesn’t exist anymore. Still deep down I never forgot about it.

That name stuck with me. It started as a gesture but it became a kind of truth I didn’t even realize at the time.

I’ve been working on something secretly without you knowing behind the scenes a little project something just for us and now you know I bought the domain again. Not just for today but for always. Something permanent
So we can keep our memories somewhere they won’t be lost or torn or forgotten. So if one day anything ever feels distant or cloudy you can come here and remember.

And that’s not the only thing

You might also remember that incredibly special moment when your "Gung Gung" grandfather gave me a name. He smiled and said it in Chinese and it sounded like “love Wing kok forever” It felt like a joke at the time clever and playful as Grandpa is a smart man and thought we wouldn't notice. Everyone saw through it. But looking back now I think maybe he saw through me too. I think he knew something we were only beginning to understand.

So yes I’ve been thinking about all this. And as I was sitting with those memories I realized something deeper
Even if you were to lose your love for me even if one day things changed in a way I can’t control
I would still choose to love you
I will always love you.

That’s why I also made you a song. It’s here on this site for you to listen to whenever you want. I had thought about uploading it to Spotify but I wasn’t sure if that would be too much or if you will even like it (I was actually nervous about this whole idea). You’ll know when you hear it. It’s not just a song. It’s my heart. It’s my memory of us. It’s the feeling I get when I see you not just as others see you but how I see you and have always seen you.

They might say you’re pretty or smart or kind and they’d be right. But I’ve seen the layers underneath. The growth the strength the vulnerability the fire. And I’ve fallen more in love with you through every version you’ve become.

Today I have plans. I hope you like them. I wanted the day to feel like a gift but this site this letter this song... they’re gifts for both of us.

Because this you and me was always meant to last
Even when we didn’t know it yet we were already writing a forever
Happy birthday my love
I’ll always be your Mimo
