An amazing man

I've always felt I hit the jackpot in the husband department...he may not be perfect, but he sure does give 100% to our marriage and our family. He challenges me to step beyond what I've always thought or known. He keeps me laughing and constantly reminds me I am his elder (by a whopping 4 months and 3 days!). He works hard behind the scenes needing no recognition for his labor or contribution. He is strong and tender. He is stable and sensitive. He is my rock - an anchor for me in this tumultuous world. And the past two weeks he has blown my socks off! He has been so amazing...standing beside me during labor pains, offering his hand for support and his silence to calm me, running all over town (getting food I would eat and taking care of the rest of life), stepping it up at home by putting off his need for space after a long day of work until after J goes to bed, helping with dinner and housework, and holding a fussy girl to give me a break. The list goes on and on...did I mention he brought me flowers yesterday to congratulate me on making it through the first day alone?

Many would say he's just doing what any husband/dad should do - and I agree. But I realize that not all men do what they should do - and his no-questions-asked attitude as he gives so selflessly to the three of us has left me speechless. He isn't perfect, but he sure sets a great example for those around him - especially our son. We are so blessed - and I just had to give him props!
