Happy, happy Valentine’s Day…
…to the man who is the reason I have an intimate relationship with the Lord, all because he lived his out in a very real way…
…to the man who has loved me so truly and wholly and without question…
…to the man who is so utterly committed to our marriage and our family…
…to the man who works tirelessly to ensure we are provided for…
…to the man who tells me I’m beautiful and believes what he’s saying…
…to the man who never took his eyes off of mine during our wedding vows…
…to the man who gave me two beautiful, intelligent, compassionate kiddos (and more to come, we pray)…
…to the man who honors me with his actions and his speech, at home and in public…
…to the man who protects us and prays for us and makes our home a safe place…
…to the man who opens doors and buys surprises and spoils me rotten…
…to the man who changes diapers and wipes tears and feeds babies and never complains…
…to the man who takes out the trash and loads the kids in the car and who doesn’t say a word, only shakes his head when he sees how I’ve loaded the dishwasher…
…to the man who helps me with projects and decorates and hangs bunting after bunting after bunting…
…to the man who is the most selfless, patient, gracious, merciful person I know…
…to the man who has loved me for better or worse…a lot worse…
…to the man who is my teammate and partner and best friend and lover…
…to the man who I have spent 13 other Valentine’s days with, yet I love him more today than I did then…
You are my heart, my world, my voice of reason, my safe place…
I love you so……..so glad you’re MINE.
