I Am Thankful...
Sometimes in the morning I wake up and notice it's much later than the usual wake up time. I climb out of bed to find that Eric has pulled our daughter from her crib, has quietly changed her, and is playing with her out in the living room. The doors to the hallway have been shut, a clear sign that he is trying to keep all the gleeful sounds, the coos and the giggles from reaching my sleepy space in the bedroom. He's working hard to keep Norah good and distracted from realizing it's been a LONG time since she's eaten. All this just because he's aware enough to wake up to Norah's sounds even before I do, because he LOVES to be with his baby girl, because he is completely comfortable and competent to meet all her needs and to make her very HAPPY, but mostly because he loves me and is willing to serve me, to do whatever it takes to let me have those extra moments sleeping away. Eric is my husband, my best friend and love. Amazing relationships with family and friends have been the most beloved and important part of my life, but none can compare with the one Eric and I share together. I have loved him for over seven years, and even more so now as he wears the shoes of daddy. Once we were married, I remember thinking that he is an even better husband than I had anticipated him being, and my expectations were HIGH, as they always are. The same is true now. I cannot wait for the day when Norah is old enough to feel as proud as I am to call him her own. Thank you, Eric, for making us yours, for your great, great care over us! I am thankful...
