It's not our anniversary, her birthday, or Mother's Day. And no, I'm not in the doghouse...for anything that I know of anyway. I know that there are a lot of good wives and mothers out there, and that this is a sort of random day in December to share this, but I just had to share my thoughts and feelings of the past few weeks.
My wife is utterly amazing. If I were a more intelligent man and knew more words I could come up with a better description of her awesomeness but I have a somewhat limited vocabulary. She may not do dishes, fold laundry, handle money, or be as organized as I would like for my life partner to be all the time. But she knows and does what is MOST important.
She loves me with all my flaws, supports my passions, and reels me in when I begin to allow myself to get carried away and unfocused. She has a balance of support that is uncanny. She knows that at times you just have to let me dream without squashing it right then (like when I told her I would be a better president than Trump or Clinton or could be a professional OCR athlete). But she knows that she has to stop me before I commit to too many things outside of our family. We have different mindsets and outlooks on life and that is what makes us an amazing team. She is my rock that supports the foundation our family can grow on and keeps us anchored and on track for where we need to be.
And when it comes to being a mother, I honestly believe that she would die of starvation and sleep deprivation if that's what it took to care for our children. I constantly remind her that she cannot pour from an empty cup. That's the only flaw I can see in her abilities, is that she will neglect herself to care for others. I love how good she is with our children, how much she loves them, and how much she just knows what they need. She can tell by Aubree's cry if she needs changing, fed, or just to be held. And I swear they even have a code that she knows how many ounces of milk she needs when she's hungry.
We might lose a homework assignment, misplace a doctor bill, forget a gift, and be a little messy - but with her will always have a home filled with love. And I'll take that other straight A's, perfect credit, and a Pinterest perfect family picture any day.
