My Man

Do you know what that is. That is a happy man. I took this picture on the way to the beach last summer. He just seemed so relaxed and happy. He told me yesterday that he is taking a week off work this year for Tommys spring break. I almost fell over. You have to understand that this man never takes vacation! I'm doing good if I get him to take a Mon and Tues once a year to take a long weekend trip. With me not working he has always worked that week and taken the extra pay. This man gets up at 5 every morning drives downtown works till 6 or 7 then turns around to come home have dinner see the kids and watch some TV with me. Basketball and Baseball season is a whole other story. I'm sure he has had to evade the police to get there at times. You might think he does this to have nice things or drive nice cars. He doesn't. He does it for me and the boys. I know it with my heart. He does it so I can be with them when they come home or when there sick or just need there Mommy. He never asks for anything for himself. If he has an extra dime he finds a way to do something with the kids. He makes sure they are seeing and doing all they can. I remember when I was 18 and thought I just might die if I didn't see him that night. HA As much as I thought I loved him then nothing can compare to my appreciation and love I have for him today as a husband and daddy.

If he reads this I'm going to deny it all!

Gee,seems something about your feelings sound so familar. I am so happy to see how much your hubby,in many ways, mirrors your own father. I feel I was always blessed to be able to raise you and your brothers as a stay at home mom.

But then, lets face it......They are very lucky to have us! :):)
