Probably the best way to descibe to you just how precious this man is to me, is to share with you the letter I wrote to him for his last birthday. This letter truly sums up just how I feel about this man I am blessed enough to call…my husband.
Kevin,
I thought I would take a minute to tell you just how special you are to me. From the moment we met, my love for you has only grown. Since I was 17 years old I knew you were the one that God brought into my life to be my husband and I just want you to know that you have done a great job of filling that role. I have to say that I have never been in a place where I have felt unloved by you. I know that each day is a gift and I am so glad that I can spend each gifted day with you by my side. I would choose no one else with which to share my dreams, goals, and life.
Thank you for knowing me and just what I need. Whether it be a listening ear or just physical closeness you have always been there for me. You truly do live to make me happy and sometimes I wonder how I will ever match up to you and return that same love to you.
Thank you for being so selflessness. The kids and I are very blessed to have the man of our home stand up for his family and make the most time for us that he possibly can. For that sacrifice we are so grateful.
Thank you for loving our children with everything you have unconditionally. I know that you would give your life away for them and as a mother this is so comforting to me.
Thank you for loving my extended family as your own. My parents have always been very important to me as well as my brothers. From the first day we were married, you accepted them just as if they were your parents and your very own brothers. I love you for that and it means a great deal to me.
Thank you for your patience with me in times when I have no idea what is wrong, but I just feel grouchy…I know that happens more with me than with you, haaa. Thanks for just hugging me and being there for me to vent and cry if I need it. That can be hard to do when you don’t understand the “why”.
Thank you for being the “man of God” that I so wanted in a husband. When I was young I didn’t really understand (even after growing up in a Pastor’s home) just how important this would really be in my future. God had his hand on me and really worked at preparing you for me. I thank you for listening to the voice of the Holy Spirit and allowing your life (daily) to be lead by Him! Our marriage is strong because of this choice you made.
And lastly, thank you for caring, understanding, comforting and loving me unconditionally. I know that there would have been other women that you could have chosen to be your wife, but you chose me for whatever reason. I love you with all my heart and would never trade what we have for anything else that this world could offer.
With all my love,
Erin
