It’s a not-so-fortunate story
that I ever heard

It’s a once in a lifetime moment
out of one million chances on earth…

It’s about mom and dad.
Mom was only seventeen when she
runaway from home. I bet she was too frustrated and tired with her mother’s
wrecking wrath

Amidst of her wandering, she met

You see, dad has dozen of

that fact)

When she went home… (with dad)
A verdict was made…
They were sentenced….a life
sentence…MARRIAGE!!!!
sentence…MARRIAGE!!!!
So different from fairy tales,
after exchanging “I do’s” there was no “ever after” thing.

Instead, horrible moments

For how many long years with that
on and off very familiar break-up blues, I wonder, did they ever get tired of

another year of their marriage…and surely a lot more years to come…

I’m sure it’s a thing in my life that I ought to be
thankful… having them.

25th SILVER ANNIVERSARY

A verdict again..
But this time its different..
