The Card

I received the most beautiful card from my husband last week.


He wrote his thoughts inside ...

You are an incredible woman, mother, wife and most of all, partner. I have never met someone who is able to give so fully of ones self to those things and people that you feel are important. You are so passionate about life and those who you hold dear.
I am truly proud of you. Proud for your ability to give so much of yourself, even at times to your own detriment. Proud of your total love and commitment to our children. And certainly proud of your amazing ability to juggle family, study, personal commitments and work.
Most of all, however, I am proud of being able to call you my wife and partner.
You are a very special person and someone who I love deeply.

I wanted to share these words because they made me cry and smile at the same time! Yes, I am complicated ... but I have one person in this world who can appreciate me for who I am. Luckily enough, that person is my husband.

Thank you darling.

  1. Oh what a wonderful man! That was beautiful.

    My husband is my hero too :) Where would we be without them?!

    Thank you for your comments on my blog. I thought I'd come over here to answer your questions. I was 31 when I met the woman I call The Listener in my story. She is my counselor and I still see her. I am 33 now, so we have been together for a little while. As for your questions about the holes... mmmm... that it tricky. I hope I won't always have ot live with my holes, but I suspect there will be some left even when I have walked all the way to Health and Happy. I think my healing will be a life time work. In a way I am glad of the holes in my life. They keep my heart soft towards others who are struggling. They keep me opened to blessings wherever they may be hidden. And because of my persistent fight to get out of holes I have developed a strong character and met some amazing people that I am deeply connected with. That may never have happened if I didn't have holes. And out of my fight with the holes as come a memoir that is currently sitting with two agents and been re-written with an invitation to re-submit from a third agent. So I am hopeful that one day my struggle with holes may speak to even more lives. Then having holes will seem almost worth while :)

    Hugs to you, wherever you are on the road in life :)

  3. Thank you Tab for your wonderful post ... I wish you the best with the publishing of your memoir, I would truly love to read it! And I have to agree with you regarding our 'holes', where we would be without them?

    Lovely Angel ... Thank you for visiting again :) My husband and I have grown our relationship over the last 15 years and have reached that amazing place of understanding each other without trying to change the other. I am truly blessed.

    Love to you both ❤❤❤
