To my husband

June 17, 2013

When I fell for you I thought I couldn’t possibly love you any more than I did right then. Little did I know what would happen when we became parents. IMG_8223_edited-2 Watching you love, cherish and protect your children took my love to a different place. Watching them love and adore you back is a beautiful thing.

We lead busy lives Chez Stitches and we are a boisterous family.  I work hard amongst the crazy to remember to express our gratitude everything you do for us and for the wonderful life we have together. I don’t always make it.

So today I get to tell you, my wonderful, amazing Husband just how much I cherish you.  Darling, you are my rock. I am grateful every single minute to share my life with you and to raise our children with you.

Yesterday we celebrated, as is our tradition, with a lovely family lunch.

Photos like this one always remind me that there is a person missing…but still very close to all our hearts…

IMG_8253…they also prove my point.  I am one very lucky girl indeed.

      I think I might be the luckiest married person ever!
      Don’t get me wrong…there are days when I could happily bash him with a cast iron frying pan…but I wouldn’t swap him for the world.

    Oh I’ve got tears in my eyes after reading that. This year Father’s Day was spent with me, my Dad, husband and Father-in-law all in different countries so it was just an ordinary day for us.

    Sometimes we need to remind ourselves how lucky we are. Many more happy years to you!

      Thank you so much. I agree…it’s too easy to let it all pass by without stopping to count your blessings.

      I know…. 😀
      It took me a while to find him and the babies…but it was well worth the wait.

Hi there,
I'm Evie and I knit, stitch, spin and sew.
With varying degrees of success!
But always with my family around me in our little town in the North of England.
Grab a brew and stay a while.
