Benj Manalo dedicates heartwarming love letter to his wife Lovely Abella: 'Napaka swerte ko'
Benj Manalo wrote a heartwarming love letter for his wife Lovely Abella on Instagram.
Sharing a photo he took of Lovely at the Lotuspod Bed and Breakfast, Benj began by saying he's "proud of you, of us."
"Simula nung mga panahong nangangarap tayo na bumuo ng sarili nating pamilya, makabili ng sarling bahay, magkaroon ng magandang career sa showbiz, magkaroon ng sariling negosyo, grabe lang we’ve come along way since 2015," Benj wrote in the caption of the post.
[We started dreaming of building our own family, buying our own house, having fruitful showbiz careers, having our own business. We've come a long way since 2015.]
"Grabe ung trust natin sa isa't-isa, sa tulungan natin, sa saluhan natin sa problema, tulungan mag-angat kung meron down satin. Grabe," he added.
[The trust we gave each other, how we help each other out, how we lift each other up, it's overwhelming.]
Benj feels "really blessed to have a partner in life, a love wife, awesome bestfrined, amazing mom, smart business partner lahat lahat na."
"Salamat at dumating ka sa buhay ko. Napaka swerte ko. Higit sa lahat, nag papasalamat ako kasi mas pinapatibay natin ang faith natin kay Lord, hindi man alam ng madaming tao kung gaano kabuti ang puso mo na nahawa ako sa kabaitan mo, salamat," he added.
[Thank you for coming into my life. I am so lucky. Above all, I'm thankful that we are helping each other have faith in the Lord. Not a lot of people know of your golden heart. Thank you for helping me become a better person.]
"Totoo nga na mas na bless tayo kung pinapaubaya natin kay Lord ang lahat ng bagay at ginagawa natin un dahil gusto natin siya ma Glorify. Ma Praise! Siya lahat ng un," he added.
[It's true that we become more blessed when we trust in God and offer to him all that we do.]
The pair have been together for nearly seven years, married for one, but Benj professed he's still very much in love with his wife.
Thanking Lovely, he marked their first trip together. "After 6 years, ngayon lang tayo nag-give ng time para makapag-relax tayong dalawa sa lahat ng hard work na ginagawa natin, " he wrote.
[After six years, we've finally been able to give ourselves time to relax after all our hard work.]
"These coming days, I want you to relax and enjoy your time with me, okay? I love you Mrs. Manalo," he ended his note.
Lovely and Benj tied the knot last January.
Benj first proposed to Lovely in June 2019, taking her surprise during a shoot for a music video. — Jannielyn Ann Bigtas/LA, GMA News
