Day 539 in my miracles life

Happy Valentines Day my love…

Among many other things these are the top three ways you fill my heart with a love so sweet it cant be described…

  1. You give your all to our daughter, you love her in ways that makes my heart sing and i know that with you as her father she will grow to be a wonderful lady.
  2. You support me no matter what.  Through the tough times you have loved me even when i have hated you.  Through the impossible times you have told me it would be ok even when you wernt quite sure yourself. And through the good times you have been there holding my hands smiling at me making me feel like nothing could be more perfect.
  3. Most importantly, you know the real me.  You know everything about me, about my past, you know the reasons why my mind is a maze of confusion and yet – you still love me.  No matter what i throw your way, no matter what torment from my past haunts me you still love me, somehow you still have a big enough heart to take all my pain on board and still love me.  You love me.

And Jay Anthony Schull…. I love you too.  More than you will ever realise.

Happy Valentines day my love.  Thank you for being my dream man and our baby’s dream father…

Dr Seuss once said that “You know you’re in love when you can’t fall asleep because reality is finally better than your dreams”

Today i dont really have enough mental power to let you know what my husband has done over the week for me, but each week when i sit down to write ‘the things he does’ it really does give me a time out to think about just how much i love him and just how much he really does do for me.

I remembered this quote because the other evening i had a bad dream.  I cant remember it exactly but i remember waking up in a startle sweating pankicking that something had happened to my husband.

As i lay there not able to sleep i realised just how deep the love i have for him is…. It is a nightmare to me to think of a life without him in it…

  5. He actually said one of my meals last week was, and i quote “yummy”!

  7. Oh and again as silly as it sounds, he cleaned my car out for me… And i am a grot when it comes to the insides of my car!

Oh he has been so wonderful to me over the holidays, i am going to miss him when he goes back to having to work!!

  3. Even though he wanted to he didnt have too much to drink at his work christmas party so that he could drive home and so that i could use the car on the friday

  5. My sweet husband has taken care of george so much on his holidays letting me have a few minutes to set up my new blog that i have been wanting to do for ages!!

  1. I cant tell you how much it meant to me this weekend for my husband to look after my precious little girl while i was hanging out with my sister.  He gave me the time i needed to sort a few things in my mind out and to have some much needed ‘me time’ and i bet he has just no idea what it really truly meant to me.
  2. Oh and while i was out he took the washing off the line… Double as sweet
  3. Just the way he plays with our little george makes me smile, the way he cares and loves- its just so incredibly sweet
  4. He bathed the dog for me yesterday – i hate having to do that!
  5. Each morning when i work he takes george out to the car, kisses her goodbyes and buckles her in for me
  6. Oh and most of the time he is sweet enough to remind me to take my glasses – i always manage to forget to put them on, and without them.. well…
  7. He really is just the kind of man you want as your husband and as the father of your child…. awwww, i know a whole lot of smooshie stuff… But when i think about it, i know he really does love me and for all that i have put him through i know he is a good man for always sticking by my side!

Love is like an earthquake-unpredictable, a little scary, but when the hard part is over you realize how lucky you truly are.

  1. My dear sweet man helped me collect my car and drop off the rental car last wednesday afternoon, i know it may seem like something a husband should do but after a long days work i just know it was the last thing he wanted to be doing!

  4. He takes our little george swimming, i love watching them play and laugh together it is just so cute
  5. There is one thing he did for me a long time ago.  When i was pregnant i used to take the puppy for a walk and one morning i went for my walk and it bagan raining… It was just as far for me to turn around and walk back as it was to keep going so i kept going…. As the rain got heavier and as i got more and more soaked i noticed a car pull up toward me.  It was my dear husband.  He got out of bed hoped in the car and drove around to find me so that i didnt get sick!
  6. Over the weekend he drove me to pick up a stuffed toy that i had purchased on ebay… It was a long drive just for a toy, but he spent his saturday morning humoring me and coming with me!
  7. He took me out to dinner tonight because he knew i had a rough day.

Day 437 in my miracles life

Oh my husband, my dear sweet husband…

Again this week, something a little different that deserves all seven “things” for the week…

With a little bit (ok, ok, with A LOT) of persuasion from myself and his son, my husband decided to jump on the band wagon and support and to raise ‘vital funds and awareness for men’s health, specifically prostate cancer and depression in men.’ by taking part in Movember…

Yes that is right my friends my husband is doing Movember!

So this week i ask that you support him in his quest to raise funds and sponsor his mustache…

Or you can simply sponsor him because you feel sorry for me having to put up with a hairy face ;)

Day 431 in my miracles life

A little bit different this week.

To my dearest husband,

There was a time not so long ago when i was so lost and confused i thought i didnt need you and i thought my life might be better off without you by my side…

But now that my mind is clearer and now that i see the light behind the clouds, now that my heart feels some hope again i know that i was truly mistaken and that there isnt a day that i dont want you as a part of my life.

No matter what happens you are always by my side, you are always there for me without complaint.  No matter how hard you work no matter how tired you are you always have me in your heart and you always lend a helping hand, and for that i am eternally grateful.

I wish i knew just the right words and way to let you know how much you mean to me and just how much all the you do for me truly means.  I wish i could tell you how full my heart feels when i think of all you do for just me and all that you do for me and george, and i wish that there were some way i could repay you for giving me your all even when i threw it back at you.

My love there isnt a day that goes by that i am not grateful for all you have done for me and there is not a day in my future that i dont want you a part of my life.

I love you Mr Jay Anthony Schull with every beat of my heart.

Forever your wifie…
