My mom and dad's love story is like sailing in very wide Oceans. There are times when the sea is calm but mostly it is not. The waves are shaking them everytime a strong storm comes. But The Passion of commitment both of them have shown when they able to withstand all of the storm.

They started their love story when they were still young, a teenager exploring the world of puppy love or infatuation maybe. They never thought it would last because who would think it would work when they were far away from each other? And they have said countless times “I Surrender”.
But when the heart wants what it wants God is a Way Maker when He sees the purity of the heart. When He sees that both are persistent and does not give up easily. How nice it is to have a love story that was strengthen by time and trials? I dunno, I am still young.
Aside from the trials they had been through from constant changes of puberty, the world seems opposing them to be together. People keep telling them it's just Reckless Love and they'll meet another one in the future as they are still young.
Both of them didn't promise each other Forever, they have the same character that they don't do promises instead they are making it. Especially my dad, even until now when I said,..
“Hey dad! Can you buy me this one please?” and he'll said “Okay, I'll try my best” I want him to promise me but “Can you promise?” and he'll reply “Let's see if I can make it, but I'll try don't worry.” He's always like that and mom too, I asked them why..
“Sometimes promises are meant to be broken, and it gives false hopes in our heart. It is better to keep it that way, not promising so that we will not expect too much. Expectations are mostly the ones that hurt us too much.” she said patiently.

Indeed promises are giving false Hopes For The World, like what politicians do during their campaigns and ghost their supporters when they win after an election lol.
My mom grew up as a Christian, there are times when she was really down and almost gave up everything, dad rescued him. Most of the time she questioned “Where do I belong?” They said when you are a Christian you are always being tested to see if you are strong enough to hold your faith even if the world seems to be shutting you down.
You Say, I can't do it but God knows your capabilities that you can. He will never give us trials that we can't handle, that's what mom said.
There are times we are confused and question everything, sometimes we even say Show Me Your Glory, give me Reasons To Sing that you are the Super Strong God and Kings Of Kings, if that's who You are, why do you let me suffer? Why? and we cried like there's no more tomorrow, a Cry Of The Broken.
Mom goes through a lot, not just with her relationship with dad but her whole life as she came from a broken family. They used to be intact but ended up with a broken family. My dad stayed with her because he can relate. His dad also cheated on her mom and almost broke up as well.
Mom and dad's relationship was built from the tough times, their Cornerstone was their experiences that made them stick together for better or for worse. They didn't promise it like a vows but they did stick with each other without promises. I Trust In You, that's what mom said to herself that he'll trust God whatever comes to her life, it's His will.
Then one day, I came to their lives. Dad named me and my second name which is Hart came from the thought “love” that he dedicated to my mom. When he told my mom about my name she said, “What A Beautiful Name” this is why I always love my mom and dad's love story, imagine I was named by the thought of their love.
