This big boy just celebrated his 33rd birthday last week ππ»
Spoiler : It contains romance, skip if it's boring.
Happy birthday Samchon! Stay healthy and happy to be yourself and part of my family. Thank you for teaching me many things and also inspiring me with what you do I see every day of you living your days meaningfully.
Bonding with you never makes me feel bored. This chemistry isn't artificial, it grows on its own bc that's what we want to build together naturally. We live as we should without anything being forced or made up until finally we became best friends π€
Deciding to start a family with you was a big decision for Ibu as well as me. We believe the love we feel is as great as what we give to you and even more. Thank you for being willing to take care of us - in this case, me. Not in a materialistic way, but rather, trust myself with someone who will take care of my soul. Trust myself with someone who will take care of mind, some one who will take care of my heart. Trust myself with someone who will take care of even the most chaotic parts of who I am. Samchon from all that I feel I can do the same for you, for our family. Even though you are not my biological father, you mean the same to me.
How happy i would be if you picked me up from school on the sidelines of your busy life and my friend was happy to see my 'dad' come?
Do you know how proud I am when I see you perform on stage and inspire so many dancers?
Do you know how amazed I am when I see your eyes sparkle when your students surprises you with their progress?
Did you know how happy i am to see you up close with so many animals? How can you have the vibes that makes stray animals comfortable sticking with you?
Did you know how happy I am when everything I say gets a response? When my dreams are not just dreams when you say let's do it now instead of later?
Did you know how surprised I am that you're intooooo astrology? I don't even care about my Taurus which is not popular. I'm so sick of hearing the Aries and Virgo in my cricle who can't stop talking about it and now I have Capricorn at home. I can't believe it happened to me :(
Did you know how terrified I was when I saw you quit enlistment with such conditions? It was the first time I saw Ibu's hands shaking in front of the ICU. How jealous I see other families are grateful to see their family members leave the room. How it breaks my heart to see your damaged eyes. How sad I hear the way you say wanna see normal again? How tired Ibu's giving your eyes bunch of meds and it time lag makes me wonder if we can sleep tonight? I ended up staying at the hospital and going to school from there for a few days. In the early days of your treatment my body felt very crushed bc there were only the two of us Ibu and I, so we had to complement each other. There are times when Ibu goes to buy food and I stand in the room to give meds to Samchon's eyes and can't be late at all. There are times when I take turns with Ibu and go to buy medis that isn't available at the hospital, and when I already get it Ibu sends another photo of a new medical prescription and and I have to go back there again and queue again and it's raining outside. I remember how hectic we were when we set an alarm on a cheap smartwatch we bought out of necessity. We remember how short our time to eat was. All the struggles that we went through together from treatment, healing to your therapy have really been replaced. Please, μ λ°, don't get sick anymore. Stay healthy! Physically! Mentally! You have us, a very strong backing!
And did you know Samchon how hard it was for me to hold back tears when you finally said you were ready and willing to be the imam of the prayer from then onwards? Good job Samchon, thank you for never getting tired of continuing to learn more about Islam. And now I see the figure of Opung in you where you always shout and remind me to pray on time π
I'll be honest here, of course it's not easy to accept Ibu and I in the early days you know us. The fact that you truly love your nephew is also a child within your circle makes us believe in you that you will be the right person to help Ibu educate and guide me. You opened my mind with your statement, "I will not replace your biological father's position, as a stepdad I will help you, guide you also give you a good experience until you become the human you dream of. This is also my first experience to have a son so let's live life together like a best friends". We're doing well so far despite ups and downs, my heart can't lie to accept you. Thank you Samchon for accepting me as I am. Ibu and I are not perfect - we are full of sins and scars but you want to walk together and heal together, it turns out that you also have the same scars. Thank you for everything especially for speaking up that I am not only Ibu's son but also your child. I might regret it if at that time I really refused you to come into our lives.
Sorry if I still call you Samchon.
Even though you say call you as comfortable as I am but I know what YOU and the universe wants.
Sorry I can't reach that yet but youΒ exactly know I'm working towards that.
Stay healthy and fit until old age! I'm so happy to see you excited about your new permanent job π Let's grow together! Let's learn about life together! Let's achieve another dream together! Let's get to know ourselves more! I'm really looking forward to do new experiences with Ibu and you
