…to be married to such a kind, funny and caring man and to have this funny, smart, loving and just recently stubborn little girl?
I am grateful every day for them. They are my life. I am a wife and a mother and I wouldn't have it any other way. I remember my life before them, but it seems so far away and almost like it was all someone else’s life. I am a different person, a better person because they are in my life.
He is patience ~ patience with The Peanut, with me, with the cat, with traffic, with slow moving aisle wanderer at the store ~ with everything. And I am sure I would be in the looney bin if it weren't for him. He reminds me to breathe. He calms me by just being near me. And when I am being a total nutcase for no reason and taking things out on him, he takes it in stride.
And The Peanut ~ she shows me what love truly is every day. My love for her is like a giant wave. At times it crashes over me, consuming me, swallowing me and throwing me around that I feel like I will drown in it. It is those times that all I can do is hug her and tell her how much I love her and fight back the tears of joy. And other times it is calm, rolling, constant and peaceful – I could float on it all day, content just to be near her. But either way, my love for her is always there and every day it gets stronger and stronger.
I am lucky and blessed to call them both mine.
