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.

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

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