This is my fourth Valentine’s Day with my husband, Daniel. We were married May of 2006, and dated off an on since November 2004. I wanted to take a moment to acknowledge this man and how much I love him.
He went from having one child and a quaint life to being the head of a household of then 4 kids, his – the youngest. He went through the trials of me and my daughter before she moved out. He went through the trials of one of my son’s just not truly engaging in school and feeling lost. He continues to go through my youngest’s mental health issues. Although sometimes he says it’s about all he can take – he continues on. I respect and admire this man who took on so much when he had the slow and calm life before.
With all of the issues my husband has dealt with by marrying me, I’ve given him the three most important *beings* in my life. My children. It’s a gift I would not have given to just anyone. Although there is drama – there is more love than someone could ever imagine if they were not living it.
He has provided for us, loved us, and generally put up with us. That’s quite amazing. On the other side… I’ve put up with him as well. That’s marriage and it’s what we signed up for. I’ve been so busy with work, sleep (boy I’m tired!) and Stephen – that I haven’t had much time for my hubby. We are making time tomorrow which will be wonderful, even though it’s storming. Hey, storms are romantic.
While we venture closer to our wedding anniversary I can honestly say it’s been a wonderful ride. I love him very much and thought I’d tell him here as well as together tomorrow for Valentines Day.
He sent me flowers to my job today. I got to put the beautiful roses in my cubbie and feel loved publicly. Very nice indeed.
I love you Daniel, thank you for taking on this adventure with me. Happy Valentines Day.
Love,
Monnie

Happy Valentine’s Day!!! Gillian came home from school with three carnations and little bowl she made in art class. Nothing from my husband… he didn’t even remember today was Valentine’s Day! lol. Suppose I can’t blame him for that, being busy training and all. Ugh, I didn’t even send him anything but the kids did. I hope you and your husband are having a great day today!
