What A Mighty Good Man


Sorry ladies, I snatched one of the "good ones."  In my eyes actually, I got the best man possible for me and our little family.  It's hard to appreciate how much you love someone until you watch your love grow into a family, and priorities are strengthened and rearranged. 

Daniel, you continue to show me how much you care about me, through everything.  When I got sick this weekend, I woke up in the middle of the night and immediately thought I should get through it, and not bother you since you were in the heat of a really good wrestling tournament.  It got to the point that I could not take care of Cael, so I had to break down and text you.  To my surprise, you found a ride from the tournament and came through the door with a smile two hours later, without question.  That day, more than ever, you were a rockstar.  I truly believe the only reason I was sick for as short of a time period as I was, is because you took care of everything, including me.  You took "in good health and bad" to the next level.

I know through my pregnancy you took excellent care of me.  When Cael was born, you showed me that you were made to be a father.  There is no way I could have made it through those first few weeks of his life without you by my side, cheering me along.  Through the highs and lows, the midnight cry sessions while getting used to breastfeeding, the nodding of your head yes, when you know I'm clearly nuts and hormonal, feeding me and catering to my needs, and telling me that you think I'm beautiful.  Everyday I thank the Lord for blessing me with an amazing partner in life.  Thank you for being my hand to hold, my neck to hug around, and my heart to love forever.
You are my hero.  And I know, you will be Cael's too.
