We had a chance to talk today while the kids had rest time and played nicely in their rooms after going to the pool. It was so nice. It reminds me how lucky I am for my husband.
I am so thankful to Sue and Gus for raising him to be the man he is today. We are not perfect and we have made bad choices along the way in the 10+ years we have been married but no matter high high the highs or how low the lows he has always been there.
He has had to deal with things in our personal life that I know not all husbands would deal with. In our marriage vows they said "in sickness and health" I know he didn't have any idea what was down that road. The most recent, but not the only, was him having to pack gauze in my stomach every night. Plus since he knows how much it bothered me he did everything he could to make it as easy as possible for me. To distract me from what was happening and to get it done as fast as he could.
Who signs up for that? When you are in your early 20's and getting married the future looks like sunshine and roses and when it's not, at the first sign of it not being easy so many people throw their arms up in the air and say oh we don't love each anymore or we just grew apart instead of working on maintaining what brought you together in the first place. I don't worry about him doing that.
He has two daughters who can be a handful but who will never doubt that they are loved each and everyday.
Plus no matter how bad of a wife I was that day, that week, or that month I know how lucky I am that he loves me too.
*Besides I told him if we ever get a divorce he's getting the kids so I think that will keep him around. haha

Amen to that, sister. Josh is a jewel, and so are you. :)
Yep. Known that boy since he arrived at the Cotterell home, and I echo your kudos. Great job, Josh.
