As I sit here with our precious son as he naps I am reminded of the perfection of love. It's not always easy, not always exactly what we want it to be, but it is exactly what we need when we need it. I know that at times I am short or snappy when I'm in caretaker mode. I try to keep everything running smoothly for everyone else and sometimes I know you feel like I am neglecting to stop and simply snuggle. I'm trying harder to remember to do that. I know that you love me. I not only wear physical proof on my left hand, snuggle the sleeping proof right now, but also in the patience you have with me, the support you give me, and the desire you have to be here with us while I am off rather than being at work. I love that you call me throughout the day just to check in on me (us) and hearing your voice brightens my day. Thank you for taking on some of the family duties like the budget and the majority of the yard work. I realize I can't do everything alone without sacrificing even more of the time we have as a family so I really love that you do those things for US.
Having my family here this past week and seeing you interact with them, their reactions and impressions of you, and watching the boys with them was really special to me. I hope that you realize just how loved you are, not just by me but by my family. You are one of us and have been since the day you came to the hospital with me when I had the stroke. At that very moment my family assumed you as one of them and now it's just a matter of meeting them all and finding your fit in the vast sea of strong personalities among us. You are doing fabulously as they come at you! :-P So far not a single one has had hesitation in regards to you belonging with us, in your way of course. I love you for not shying away from meeting everyone and making yourself available for them to get to know.
Mostly I just love you all the time.
Me
