Letter to my Unknown Wife

A LETTER TO MY UNKNOWN WIFE I woke with a start in the wee hours of the night on my bed, I stretched my hand across the bed to feel the softness and the tender skin of my wife but it was my pillow that occupied the space beside me; then I realized that my wife is yet to come into my life. An idea strikes me and I decide to write a letter to my unknown wife. Hello dear, it’s funny that I don’t even know your name yet but that is of little important because I will always call you “My Angel”. How is life treating you and I hope you are living a just life, for a clear conscience keeps the mind happy and a happy mind keeps one focus. My angel, it might have happened that we have met without really meeting or we may have passed each other on the road without even a glance or possibly, we have never met; whatever the case may be, we are destined to meet someday. My angel, I’m looking forward to the day we shall be pronounce husband and wife, the day that man will says: “You may now kiss the bride”, the day my parents will embrace yours, the day that your siblings will accept mine, the day we shall be known as a family, a big family. I promise I will never ask you to drop your surname but you are definitely adding mine to yours (smiles) and I won’t choose a place for our honeymoon the pleasure will be yours. I’m also looking forward to the night when we shall conjugate our marriage, when I shall plant the seed of my first twin inside of you….God willing. My angel, I will never treat you wrong though we may and we will have our ups and downs but that will only makes our love grow stronger. My angel, I don’t care if your flower has been plugged, I lost mine some years ago with a beautiful lady 5years my senior. On my part of the world I’m building a formidable me, a me that will be able to provide for you and the kids, a me that will respect you, a me that will love you but above all these, a me that will be your best friend now, always and forever. Education is important my angel and I hope you are acquiring it but if you are not I can always send you back to school to get it but you must be learning a trade or a work that will keeps you preoccupy positively, I don’t want you idle for an idle hand is a devil workshop. Be careful with men, don’t fall prey to their sweet words which carry little meanings; listen, believe but never lost your focus in life and don’t see men as the solution to whatever problems you face in life. Work hard and tackle all your problems with a brave heart, so that when we meet I will respect and love you because love is never enough I need to respect and love you before we can build a happy home. I will be a fun husband, every new day will always be better than the previous day, that I promise you. And we may not be the richest couple but we shall be among the happiest couples on earth. On this note my angel, I want you to know that I am praying for you and I’m wishing you the very best life can offer, until we meet have fun (reasonable fun). SEE YOU SOON MY ANGEL
