I am so blessed in my life and have so many things to be thankful for–it is hard to separate out each thing.  I am posting today about my husband.  I am so thankful for him and his love and support, his kind and gentle way, and for the husband he is and the father he is becoming. 

I met my husband over 11 years ago on the heels of the demise of a horribly unhealthy relationship.  Hubby was a breath of fresh air.  He stole my heart on our first “date” and I have never looked back.  That is not to say that our relationship didn’t have ups and downs while we were both figuring things out–like how much we really liked each other and what we really wanted out of live and love.  It took years for us to admit/decide that we wanted to spend the rest of our lives together.  He has given me so much, that it is hard to write it all here without getting too personal–which I prefer not to do (there are somethings that don’t need to be alive in cyberspace forever).  I am lucky to have found a man who knows his heart and is constantly pushing his own limits–intellectually and spiritually.  He longs to be the best man he can be and in that I am lucky.  He puts me first often and our son always.  He loves my family and welcomes them into our lives all the time–even on days he would rather hang out and not socialize. 

He is a model man and our son could not ask for a better man to teach him and show him how to be a man.  I am thankful that he knows how to cry and express how he feels.  He is the communicator in our family and he asks me to do the difficult task of expressing myself.  I am a closed book and he has figured out how to open me.  I love him for that–as it was not easy.  Thank you hubby for making me better each day and for showing me I deserve to be loved and happy and for giving me hope.  I love you and am thankful everyday that you walked into my bar and didn’t give up on me.  Thank you.
