Sometimes in the middle of our busy lives he does something so amazing, so thoughtful, so beautiful. Yesterday was one of those days when his heart, his words on paper, reached right in and touched my soul. That’s what happens when your blessed enough to truly find your soul-mate. It is the most amazing thing, experience, love. I thought I would share the letter my hubby wrote me yesterday. Feel free to tear up and say awe. 😉

To my beautiful wife Susan,

14 years ago I would never have thought my life would be where it is at today. You came walking through church and looked at me, turned your head and kept walking. That animal print dress and your curves really got my attention, but I wasn’t really dressed for church so I didn’t really try to talk to you. I would tell you hi at all the church services and you would half way smile and keep walking. For several services we did this, until one night to my surprise you stopped and talked to me. That night Lance, Joannie, you, and me went to eat after church. I so wanted to touch your hand and if I knew then what I know now, I would have grabbed your hand and never let go, because the future I was looking at was without true love or life. You gave me more than a life, you gave me a reason to live. You showed me that love was not a bad thing. That love was about giving and taking, kind, caring, and a really good thing. You are a kind and caring person, and I almost destroyed that once being a selfish butt. I love you. I love that you cry watching a show you have seen a hundred times already. I love that you look at things through caring eyes.  I love that you touch with loving hands. You love me like no other ever has or I think no other ever could. It is a tough, hard head, never giving up, kind of love but it is the truest of love. Thank you for that. Thank you for all you gave me and all you gave up for me over the years.                                                                                                                                                                                    I LOVE you my friend, my wife, my love, my life,                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                  Joseph

Gosh how I love this hardheaded stubborn beautiful man and our crazy little family.  Sigh.
