My Husband

Here are my cute boys!

Taking on risk that this will be the corniest post ever, but I want people to know how great my husband is.  Yes, I am writing this. I think he deserves a little recognitions for everything he has done for us.  For those close to us, you know the last few years have been terribly difficult for us financially and emotionally.  We've been out of work, had to move out of our house (and come back) and now have lost a child.  My husband has been a rock through it all!
There were days he would be looking for work to do just to pay bills.  He NEVER just sat.  He is a dang hard worker and is very loyal to those he works for.  I think in the last 3 years he has been laid off twice.  This is obviously hard, but he just picked up the pieces and kept moving forward.
After losing Ethan he has done the same thing,  He allows himself to be sad.  He lets me cry when needed and will talk for as long as I need it.  (And for those of you who I dump on--you know I need LOTS of talking time).  But, he continues on as a better person each time.  I try hard to live up to it.
He is by far the best dad ever!  He is more patient than any other man I have ever met.  The couple of times he's lost patience I don't even know how to respond.  It just sends me for a loop.  Its the same thing when he shows stress--I just don't know how to handle it because he hardly lets that happen. He also lets me live in my fantasy world of believing I am in control of everything around here.  He has a knack for really being in control but letting me think I am. When he finally confessed this, things are smoother because I still love the illusion.
Thank you, honey.
I love you.  You're my best friend.
