Hey Babe

It is something to be said when you meet someone and it feels like you've known that person for an eternity. I have been with my husband now for 27 years and we have been married for 19 of those years.

I don't know where to begin! The journey of a long-lasting relationship is filled with many crazy and silly moments, challenges, and personal growth. Our commitment, understanding, and ability to navigate our ups and downs together has been a test of faith and strength.

But man what can I say about my best friend, lover, confidant and homie...... A LOT!

Over the past few years I have suffered through an illness that would have sent the weakest person running out the door. His unwavering support and love have been my anchor during some of the toughest moments of my life. God sent me a person who had the strength to walk through the fire.

I have always had an issue using the bathroom when others are around so of course when my husband and I got our first apartment I had to get crafty. And Yes this was a real issue for me, I could not poop when he was at home LOL. People would laugh and call me crazy and but I made it work. Well, when I got really sick, and the chemotherapy medication was doing a number on my system, my bathroom shyness became a real challenge. I realized that I had to let go of my bathroom "stage fright" and let my husband in on the secret. It was a big step for me to open up about something so personal, but I had no choice. His compassion and love for me has allowed me to let it all go......literally. He has held my hand through some tough Sh*$ (haha get it!)

But seriously I can't think of a time where I could't call upon him. I've seen him be strong and carry the weight of the world on his shoulders. I often wonder how he does it but he has always made it clear that he will always put us first. I may complain about everything but honestly I don't have to worry about anything.

My husband is perfect for me! He is the perfect father and pop-pop... and our grandsons believes that he is some sort of super hero.

God blessed our family with a man who is dedicated to keeping us smiling. His corny jokes and crazy war stories keep us cracking up and have gotten him in trouble a few times but we know that his love is undeniable.

And once he reads this post he will probably smile and remind me of it every chance that he gets. As always This is Me....and nothing is normal!
