dad, i miss you. it’s hard to grieve in such a fast paced world. when i lost you, life was a whirlwind. we’d just come out of lockdowns, i was sitting my final clinical exams, and having people constantly in and out of the house to see you one more time. life has changed a lot since then, and now every milestone feels a little empty. especially the ones where we welcome new life into the world. i’m sad i never got to see you be a grandfather. i think it would’ve made me fall in love with the man you are, the man you were, all over again. i talk about you sometimes like you’re still here. i use humour a lot to cover the hurt, to try and move on. but i think grief doesn’t really go away, some days are just louder than others. i learned so much from you. you’re the reason i show love the way i do, quietly, through acts of service, through food. making sure people are always fed. i wish you could see who i am today. i hope you’d be proud. i wish i could stand next to you in the kitchen again and have you laugh at how i cut things. i wish i’d enjoyed guinness as much as i do now, instead of telling you it tasted like burnt water. i wish i’d taken more photos and videos of you while you were here. it’s been four years, and i’m starting to forget the sound of your voice. now all i have is what’s on my phone, a few snapshots, some old texts that survived the move from my android, and a feeling of sadness every time i see an asian man in a bright red cap.

twenty six. it feels strange to think that i have lived the first quarter of my life already. maybe more than. i look back at the twenty year old who got married and i barely recognise him. i was still a kid in so many ways. impatient. emotional. convinced i knew more than i actually did. i didn’t. the last six years have changed me more than i ever expected. somewhere along the way i realised that being patient is harder than being right. that kindness is something you choose, over and over again. and that being vulnerable is not something to avoid. it is what allows you to grow. so much of that is because of jony. she has been my biggest teacher without ever trying to be. she has shown me patience when i did not deserve it. kindness when it would have been easier not to. and a softness that completely changed the way i see the world. she taught me that emotion is not weakness. that you can feel deeply without losing yourself. and that loving people well is usually found in the smallest moments. i wouldn’t be the person i am becoming without her. i still have so much to learn. and i hope that never changes. i don’t want to have life figured out. i don’t think anyone ever really does. but i have learned that growth usually comes from listening more than speaking. from being willing to open your mind, and change how you see things. and from having people in your life who love you enough to help you become better. twenty six feels less like arriving somewhere. and more like becoming someone. i am really grateful for that. here’s to twenty six.

jony, life with you has been a whirlwind of love, learning, patience and grace. and even those words only capture a fraction of the woman you are and the woman you continue trying to become. i think about this a lot the universe holds an infinite number of possibilities infinite decisions, infinite paths, infinite lives we could have lived and somehow, in the middle of all of that, we found each other and chose to spend our finite time here together. that thought never stops feeling insane to me. you are genuinely my best friend. my favourite person to talk to, laugh with, sit in silence with, annoy, be annoyed by, and do ordinary life beside. i’ve seen the way you carry people you love. the way you care so deeply. the way you keep showing up even when things are hard. there is so much strength in you, but also so much softness. and i don’t think i’ll ever stop admiring that balance. there’s nobody else i’d rather experience this life with. out of every possible person, every possible outcome, every possible version of life i’m endlessly grateful this is the one we have. and i’ll choose you every day for the rest of my life.

alistair first proposed to me five years ago. we were just kids (20 at the time) naive and certain - the kind of certain that only comes from not knowing better. we didn’t know life would change so fast. that it would ask us to grow up before we were ready to. when he got on one knee, it was on a bet - the bet that he would keep loving the parts of me he hadn’t even met yet. a bet placed in front of him by my mum, who asked if she’d see her daughter married before she died. so we did it. we chose love in a hurry. a wedding stitched together by time, not by planning. and it was beautiful chaotic, fleeting, sacred - like it knew time was running out. i always wondered what would it have looked like if we’d waited? if love had arrived without a deadline, without grief sitting in the front row? what if we’d had time to breathe to choose each other in stillness instead of panic. i mentioned it once, just in passing that maybe one day we could have a proposal that was ours. not to prove anything. just one with no audience or deadline. just a quiet “yes” for the version of us that survived everything. i didn’t need it. but he remembered. five years later, he got on one knee again. not to ask if i’d be his wife, but if i’d keep being her. not out of urgency this time, but out of peace. out of knowing. because this love it doesn’t need a reason anymore. it doesn’t need grief to hold it together or a wonder if he loves me. i couldn’t be more certain of his love and i hope he feels the same. i know this man loves me. it’s the one thing id bet my life on. he’d move mountains (and water bottles closer) for me. he says “yes i trust you” more than he should. he can tell i’m overthinking from a single look. he tells me he loves me any chance he gets. thank you for taking that bet on me. thank you for remembering, for listening, and for choosing me again and again. i love you with all that i am. i will find you in every lifetime and i will always say yes 🤍 …even in pinrolled jeans and stussy socks

To my best friend, my wife Happy birthday to you. Today marks 25 years of the world getting to experience you, but it only feels like in the recent years where your true self has come to fruition. When we first started dating, and even in the early days, things were rough. People see us now and wonder how we got to where we are; coming from immature, care too much and too little at the same time teenagers, to people who are sought after for advice and love. The truth is, none of it would have been possible without you. People don’t get to experience you the way I do, the rawness, the gross bodily functions, the immense amount of love, time and efforts. People only get a fraction of it. I feel so lucky, yet so selfish that I get to experience you this way. You are the epiTOME of selfless. The Jony I get to experience is something a man can only dream of. Your patience is unmatched, love knows no bounds, your humour could use some work and your creativeness to solve problems with me if unfathomable. I will continue to spend ridiculous amounts of time with you discussing problems and getting into disagreements, searching for solutions and understanding between one another. I wish people could see how fucking cool you are, the way that I do, but I’m also lucky you’re mine. To the girl with the loudest laugh, the biggest smile and the brightest light, here’s to you. Happy birthday.

i just know we’re best friends in every timeline

My dear friends J&A featured on @people Looking through the time machines of this day is just unreal. The rollercoaster of unhinged laughter and uncontrollable tears and hiperventilation is a strange, beautiful, painful feeling I’ll always cherish and hold close to my heart. From day one, when it felt like 3 of us were just babies, so much has changed. My real highlight, has been seeing J&A both grow so much since then. Truly, the stars that I saw in them both now are huge sources of inspiration to literal millions of people. Look what love can do. To Mama Luna always ✨🕊️ What an gift it is to be a part of your lives my friends!

Happy 2 years (and 9 days) of marriage to us These last two years have been ridiculous, endless lockdowns, career highs and lows, losing two pillars of who we are and everything in between, it all would have been impossible to get through without you. You have been an inspiration and my rock through it all. It's always a cliché but I truly did marry my best friend when I married you. Here's to forever, I love you.
