My Valentine

I've been married to my Valentine for almost eleven years.  It began earlier when her cute smile caught my attention as a quirky college student.



I owe her a great debt for so much goodness that she has brought into my life. She had brought 4 children into our family and has selflessly given her all for them. She has supported me in my job.  She has listened to me complain and has been a comforting voice and a listening ear. She entertains my hiking desires and my running addiction. She takes care of everything and everyone at home so I can serve in my church responsibilities. She suffers with complaining children when I travel for work.  She has always been supportive of me despite my quirks, which are many.

How does she do it?

The better question might be:  Why does she do it?

Upon reflection of this question, I discovered the primary motivation is genuine love.  Her love for me and the kids is manifest in everything she does.  There is nothing greater that I could ever ask for or hope for in my eternal companion than love.



Thanks for being an awesome mom!  Thanks for being a thoughtful and selfless wife!  Thanks for being my valentine!

I love you honey for being my sweetheart and best friend!  I love you for loving as you do so well!
