Today I honor someone else.
She has been with me permanently for 44 1/2 years. Lord willing, it will be 45 on June 16th.
She is the fantastic mother of my two daughters.
She is the doting mamaw to our only grandson.
She has been my helper, my supporter, my cheerleader (without the outfit…rats!) all these years.
She has gone wherever we have believed God has led us.
She has been a rock through the good times and the tough times.
Her primary love language is Quality Time (and let’s me know when she isn’t getting it). 🙂
She never has been and still is not athletic. She is not like the Energizer bunny. She would prefer to spend a quiet night at home watching TV than go out on the town (which is a good thing). She loves to eat out (but has trouble picking it unless we have been blessed with a gift card). She has a few (very few) close friends. She loves being behind the scenes and pushing me forward. She prefers a stress-free life (her personality type wants peace).
And she’s married to me!
That makes me the most fortunate man on the planet. I haven’t always known that or believed that but this past year has been a “dream” for both of us. We took a dream vacation thanks to someone in the church. We have been able to dream bigger in our marriage due to a newfound love and respect for each other. I could go on but if she reads this I could get shot. (It would have to be an imaginary gun since I don’t own one). I’m embarrassing her because she hates attention being brought to herself.
I woke her up this morning playing this song on the record player she got me for Christmas. She knows this is my #2 song of all time. Cheesy I know. I even told her that but since I don’t sing and he does, I let the record say it for me. We’ll spend a quiet day together doing some errands, eating lunch out somewhere so she can be at home tonight watching NCIS, and just enjoying each other’s company. Just the way she likes it.
I love ya baby! (Frankie sings that).
