When the alarm clock rang this morning, I was overwhelmed with a sense of dread...another day, just like yesterday....again tomorrow....The shower didn't relieve it, getting dressed didn't help....I went to the computer to check the morning news and there it was...A simple note from my husband telling me what a great mother and wife I was! Although not an every day occurrence, I have received "Love notes" in the past...randomly placed around the house waiting for my eyes to find. But this one...hit the spot...it was just what I needed to start my day. It made me realize how much I need my husband...How behind most good mothers there is a terrific man.
My husband is not only a great husband, but an outstanding dad. He is patient and kind and always understands "my bad moods" and my "exhausted nights." He knows how difficult it is to raise children and how hard I work at it. When he gets home from a long day at work, he still finds time to fix, play, hold, talk, and help me out. My husband is the first to boost my spirits and the last to criticize my downfalls. He takes time to listen to my struggles and brainstorms all possible solutions. He is tolerant of who I am and all that I want to be. He allows me to dream and when I can't he dreams for me. He is my cheerleader, my biggest fan...He's the one I want to share the happy times and the man I run to in the difficult ones. He's the one I counsel for parenting help and the one confidant for everything else. My husband is trustworthy and consumed with being with his family every second of every day.
He is the man who I fell in love with...."The One." He's the man I married and the boy I like to play with. He is the comedian when I need a laugh and the lover when I need to feel wanted. He is the man that fathered my children, the one that made them possible. Each time I look into their eyes, I realize the priceless gift he gave to me. My husband is the one who deals with his faults with grace and tries everything to strengthen his weaknesses. He is a father when it's time to discipline...a daddy when it's time to cuddle and watch t.v. on the couch....a dad when there is something they need help with.
I am a great mother and he is a great man and together we can accomplish anything!
I love you Tim....Forever and A Day
Jen, I peacably disagree with, "Behind most good mothers there is a terrific man." You are implying that there must be a man and a woman to make good parents. I humbly disagree.
