Ode to a perfect husband

It kind of hit me recently; I’m REALLY lucky. I have a great family. We had a great week end, we had a great week before the week end… Stephen comes home every afternoon, he’s always there for me and for the kids. So to my amazing husband and to all great husbands out there, here goes a big thank you! Thanks for taking care of us, making us feel special no matter how un-special we feel sometimes. Here is a small “ode” to my husband… And I wrote ode but it won’t be an ode… It’s mainly going to be like a big thanks message type of thing, anyways, just enjoy it Stephen.

Thank you for loving me, for always being there, for always listening, for always motivating and cheering me up. I know you will never let me down, that in the best or the worse you will be there ready to listen to any silly or deeply serious thing I have to tell you. I know you will be ready to deal with any situation as long as we do it together. I just know you are there, and it means a lot to me, because that’s the only thing I need… I need you to be there, and know that I am here.

Thank you for working so hard for us, for giving me the opportunity to stay at home with the kids, to have a stable job and put your priorities straight. I appreciate all your efforts and hard work to give us everything we want and need. I know it’s not always easy, that it’s difficult to work long days and that it’s hard to come back home to a needy wife and two kids. You’re doing so damn good though, you’re so young and you've achieved what people spend all their lives looking for… You’re successful, you’re stable and you’re present… You’re able to jungle everything at once and that means a lot to us.

Thank you for being ALL there for me. I know when you talk to me, when you look at me and when you interact with me in general you are all there for me. I know there is nothing else on your mind, I know there is no one else other than me. I bet it’s not always easy, but you’re all there… I feel like you’re all mine and only mine, and that feels great nowadays. It’s so rare to find a partner that is fully there for you, that always has been and that will always be. Thank you for promising me the future.

I could go on… About how great you are, how smart you are, how charming you are, how generous and how handsome you are… I am just thankful that I found you, I have no idea what I did to deserve you, I just know that you’re mine, and I’m yours, and that’s how it goes… I’m so thankful for all the things you do, for the way you act and for the beautiful family we are raising. I love you baby, with my heart, feet and nose.
