To my Hubby

Our anniversary has come and gone (April 8th). . . and there was no blog post!

WHAT?
I am ashamed. Especially after this FABULOUS post last year! It is tough to top. However, we have been through quite a year and to say that I didn't feel different would be a lie. How do you go through the most difficult year of your life and have things be the same? You don't.
To be honest this past year has been a refiners fire. It has done nothing but polish my husband into a more beautiful stone (that is right, baby, I just called you a beautiful stone). But it is true. The things that he had to endure were unimaginable and I doubt there are many people out there who could handle them as well as he did. Instead of questioning why, he came closer to the Lord. Instead of getting angry, he looked at all of the good. Instead of falling apart, he became stronger and more focused, and I love him all the more.
It is difficult to put into words the gratitude that I have for him and the astonishment I have at what he had to endure (and still endure). But, I knew when I married him that above all, he was a good person, who had a tender heart, who would always do his best to choose the right and rise above.
He has done all of that, and more. Much, much more.
I love you, Happy Anniversary.

Happy Anniversary. I am glad that trials have brought you closer together. Some couples are driven apart.

Well at least he remembered the anniversary, right?

Congrats on another year, may your next be a little bit more restful.
