17th years ago, two lives crossed paths in the most unexpected way🥰What started as a simple meeting slowly grew into friendship, laughter🤩, dreams, and a love that felt certain❣️... We chose each other, and ten years ago, surrounded by hope and promises, we said “I do🥹💍.” That day marked the beginning of a beautiful journey one built on love, faith, and the belief that forever was possible. But life, as it often does, tested us. Five years ago, our marriage faced storms we never imagined💔... Marital challenges shook the foundation of what we had built Mistakes were made,Words hurt deeply...Hearts were broken mine included,We went our separate ways, carrying pain, disappointment, and unanswered questions...That season changed me,It hardened me,😡It taught me how heavy love can feel when trust is bruised💔.... Yet through it all, one thing remained constant,his remorse😔... He never stopped asking for forgiveness🥺 Never stopped taking responsibility. Never stopped believing that love was still possible, & I kept saying NO bcos I had closed my heart and built walls around my pain... I was hard on him😡, because healing is not gentle, and forgiveness is not instant.... . So something tragic😭happened to a couple around me which made me realize forgiveness was the only option🤧 bcos despite it all I was also sharing in the pain😟,this incident called my attention to so many things & I kept asking myself a whole lots of questions like,what if he dies or what if I die no one will ever miss us the way we would,what would I tell my kids,Hnmm Today, I chose a different ending. Not because the past didn’t hurt, but because I deserve peace....Today, I decided to forgive not just him, but myself...I chose healing over bitterness, peace over resentment, and love over fear. I opened my heart again, allowing it to feel, to trust, and to be loved. And on this wedding anniversary💍🥺, our story stands not as a perfect one, but as a real one. A story of love tested by time, broken by challenges, and rebuilt by forgiveness. This chapter is about growth, grace, and the courage it takes to begin again. Today, we celebrate not just an anniversary, but the power of forgiveness, the beauty of healing, and the strength it takes to choose love again❤️.... HAPPY 10TH YEAR WEDDING ANNIVERSARY TO US MINE❣️. . #lovewins #weddinganniversary
