dear nenek,
i suddenly extremely miss you, almost to the point where i can feel my heart breaking. he tells me that you’re here with me, but you’re not, which makes it hurt even more. and to pray for you makes it hard for me to breathe. so, i thought this would be easier.
i've been pretty busy, doing overtime at work, getting stuff done for my wedding. so many things to do; i think the trick is just to prioritize and manage the time carefully between trying to take care of those errands and making sure i spend as much time as i can with the family. thankfully, it's not as stressful as i hear from other peoples' experiences. thankfully, ibu & ayah, and the whole family, and his whole family have been so helpful and supportive. thankfully, our friends have been so excited about our relationship and the wedding. thankfully, he is proving to be such a great partner. i don't know how i'll ever be able to repay them for their love.
we finished the design of our invitations, i think you'd like his design better, he drew it all by hand. my classic-cut kebaya is being sewn, the rings are ready to be picked up. i wonder what item of yours i can wear that day, may i borrow a pair of your gold earrings? most of the things are pretty much halfway taken care of with a few surprises up my sleeve. :)
today was a very good day. it started with a hearty breakfast and refillable coffee, good weather, and 2 excited hearts filled with hope. we took care of our to-be-wed papers! everything went along smoothly, and the penghulu seems like a genuinely nice man.
rain season is starting, hopefully that weekend won't be a wet one for us. if it does rain, hopefully everyone will have fun anyway :) perhaps we'll all sing, dance and let loose as if we're in the shower.
i wish you could be there on our happy day, but i can already hear Him saying "she'll be there, i promise".
love you 'nek, i miss you so much,
irma
*Big Hug* :_)
