I remember the times when I was little, sitting in the car with my parents. They would always play their old infamous “love songs” and tell us a little background story on why the song meant a lot to them. Back in the day, my parents didn’t allow my siblings and I to listen to “hip hop and cursing tunes” just because.. LOL. So growing up, I was so use to listening to THEIR typa music… Anyways, every time they would play a song like, Stevie Wonder or Whitney Houston or The Beatles, or etc they would always say “This was the song I use to play when your mom and I were dating… ” or “I use to always listen to this song when your dad left the Philippines to be in Canada” or “This was the song we played during our wedding” etc etc etc. Looking back on that, I never really thought much about their songs or stories, until now. I actually find it so cute on how my parents met. They were both kids living in the same small town in the Philippines and they grew up together. Throughout those years, my parents always liked each other. Kinda like one of those things where you just know that this person’s is the one for you. I’m not 100% sure on how their whole story happened, but one of the main things I remembered was the time my dad left my mom in the Philippines and moved to Canada when he was in his early 20’s because the rest of this family decided to move for a better life. Even though they were a million miles apart, my dad would write my mother letters almost every single day, call her and tell her how much he loved her even though they were apart for a long period of time. He promised he’d come back and marry her, and that’s exactly what he did.. cause you know, obviously I wouldn’t be writing this post right now. LOL :$ .. It’s interesting to hear the kind of things people would do for someone they love so much. Growing up, watching my parents grow old together, amuses me. I’ve always wanted the kind of love they had. It’s put a lot of influence in my life. I remember trying to create a similar story for myself when I was little, I don’t even know.. LOL, but I know now that everyone has their own love story and each of them are different. Can’t wait for the day I meet someone awesome and I can share my own stories with my own kids, whether they care about it or not. :)
