My husband...


Shan left for NY yesterday early, and when I woke up I found a sweet note on the mirror thanking me for taking care of him while he was sick. The truth is, I really didn't do a very good job. I was bitter he was sick, resentful at having to do so much extra work and doubted the severity of his illness. Clearly why I got it, but I got showered with chicken noodle soup, talking rain sparkling water, a get well soon balloon (from Lucca) and roses. Needless to say, I feel like the worlds worst wife so I thought to make up for, I'd share some of the amazing things I love about my husband.

1. This is not the only note he's left, he often leaves me love notes on the mirror.
2. He brings me coffee in bed
3. He plans the best secret dates
4. He always gets the best seats to my favorite bands well before I even know they're coming
5. He relishes being a dad
6. He's so good to my family, he calls my Grandma "Grandma"
7. He lets me be me
8. He understands the importance of my girl time
9. He keeps me active
10. He lets me sleep in both days every weekend while he takes Lucca to the coffee shop
11. He works so hard at a stressful job he doesn't love to provide for us all and enable me to stay home with Lucca
12. He's so fun to cook with
13. He's not perfect, but he continues to try to be a better husband, father and man.

Sorry love I didn't take better care of you and for reminding me of why I love you so much.

We miss you.

Sometimes it takes our loved ones being away from us to realy appreciate how much we love and appreciate small gestures of kindness.
