I am always grateful for him, but lately, my gratitude has been immense.
This man calls me "Princess" and treats me like his queen. When I falter, he gently straightens my crown and reminds me whose I am. He won't let me touch a door, not even a car door. He opens not only those doors, but doors to opportunities to level up my own life, his and ours combined, and doors that lead to new and incredible life experiences. He is my biggest fan, front row, and the loudest supporter at all of my dance performances. He is by my side at every single doctor's appointment, my advocate and ally, and ready with a joke to make me laugh as we deal with my chronic illnesses. He refuses to allow me to give up hope. He loves me fiercely on the rough days, (and I him) and carries heavy burdens on his shoulders with a quiet grace that awes me. He spoils me rotten at every opportunity, and makes me feel more loved than I ever dreamed i'd be in this life. He is my world, my heart, my home, and my safe harbor, (and I am his). He is easy to love. The kindest human with absolutely unshakable integrity, sense of justice, and quiet wisdom that made me fall in love with him all those years ago when I was all of sixteen, and he eighteen. He is an amazing partner to me, and father to the three looney bin inmates we have created, the oldest of whom is grown, and a good man because of the beautiful example his dad set for him. Our youngest son is being raised in kind, and he sets the bar high for the kind of partner our daughter will one day seek out as well. I live my gratitude every single day to have found my soulmate, and get to do life with my best friend, and the most awesome human I know, at my back, and by my side. Mon Coeur. Ma Vie. Ma Maison.
