Happy Thanksgiving

This year, I am thankful for my wonderful husband. Sometimes, in the midst of day to day drama, I forgot to look at what he does for me and I only focus on the negative. I'm trying to get away from that.

I asked him the other day why he loved me, all seven fingers and eight toes, when he could have easily chosen a "whole" wife. His response was because I love unconditionally. Despite everything we've been through, I love him.

I could have left him when his health went downhill, but I didn't.

I could have left him over our infertility struggles, but I didn't.

I could have left him when his son moved in, but I didn't.

Our life is not easy and sometimes, its hard for me not to compare ourselves to those that seem to have the "perfect" marriage. But then I realize that just because they don't own up to it doesn't mean that they don't have their ups and downs.

I love you honey, and I'm thankful for the time we get to spend together.
