Christmas with the Lin's

It’s starting to feel a lot like Christmas - Kevin and I are celebrating our second Christmas together in South Africa. We couldn’t help but feel so incredibly blessed to have an additional little member to our clan this year. I have dreamt about becoming a mum for the longest time - and that dream finally materialised.

Thankful for a year of stability, kindness and love from my partner. It’s during times like these when I feel so grateful for all that I have. I remember dreaming of starting my own family - and two years later i’m married to my first boyfriend whom I met when I was 15 - with our little one. My heart couldn’t feel more full.

I remember how I used to constantly be on the go. To be quite frank - travelling really helped me to escape my reality - travelling helped me to avoid confronting issues I didn’t want to admit to having. Deep down the constant need to be somewhere new - having a schedule which was void of routine made me forget about what I really wanted deep down: to be loved. Meeting Kevin again after 15 years - I remember pushing him away - as I was afraid it wouldn’t work out - but he reassured me things would be different, and boy was he right. Not only has he been a constant pillar of support, but he’s shown me what unconditional love truly means. He’s given me the stability I craved and made me realise that it’s not about the destination, but it’s WHO travels that extra mile by your side that makes the journey that much special. Thank you for the best memories, despite COVID not allowing us to travel - we’ve made our own memories and now added a new baby to our clan.

Thank you for loving me as I am Kevin, with all my flaws. I love seeing you as a father, you’re incredible. Not only are you an amazing husband, but dad to our son.

Love you.

Forever yours,
Your Wife.
