What A Mighty Good Man

I love my husband. I have the best husband in the whole wide world. It's times like this when I remember a part in our marriage vows; "in sickness and in health". For the past 3 years, I have been ill and by the grace of God, my husband and I have become closer than we've ever been in our 12 years of marriage.

I realize now how very independent I was, even while married and it seem as though my husband has always been looking for an opportunity to really take care of me. Now that he is, he seems so much more dedicated, passionate and stronger.

I am now a housewife, partly due to unemployment but mostly due to my illness. I have to admit, I was initially stir crazy just sitting around the house. I kept feeling like I was a failure because I wasn't contributing (monetarily) to the household, however, now I'm piddling around the house being "Mrs. Cleaver"...cooking, cleaning, mending, sewing...and it feels great to do these things for him. Who would have thought during a recession, I would become a homemaker?

To the man I love so deeply:
You have been my strength in a time of weakness, a calm during my mental breakdowns and a comfort when I am doubtful. Your prayers...the way you embrace me and keep one hand on me while I sleep...it's all so unbelievable wonderful. God created you just for me and I'm the most fortunate woman in the world because of it. I love you..."to infinity and beyond"!
