Eileen and I have been together for about 2.5 years. In these 2.5 years, I feel we have grown to each other more and more. We have seen each other's good and bad sides. Despite the many flaws I have, she has been willing to tolerate me all these times. Of course, having said that, I am quite sure you have been a listening ear to all the complaints she has had about me. Therefore, I must certainly thank you for cheering her up when I did make her angry, and for maybe even putting a nice word for me (hehe).

I think Eileen and I have come to a point whereby we can take our next step in life. I wish to be able to take care of her forever and ever, being there for her when she has hard times and sharing joy with her. You being an integral part of her life, I wish to have your blessings for my proposal to her.
