My Dear Husband

Yesterday I spoke of that early time when as only a brother in Christ to me you saw deep into the caverns of my teeth. I will always remember you selling your motorcycle to take me to the dentist. That day in that dentist chair when the dentist proceeded to look down my top at my breast you took me out of there and told him off...then you found me another dentist but not just any old dentist you research to find me the best dentist in the valley one who worked with special needs adults. You did this for a sister...a sister who became your bride.

Easily you let go of your passions to cause me to become your passion. It is with that passion you have for me that standing with me those early years you broke through the enmeshment of my family of origin. Making me able to fight through so that I would have my freedom from the dysfunction of my youth.

I remember the day you held me when married only a month the call came in that Rusty (my boyfriend of 4 years ) was dead. You held me , you wept with me and understood. Not a jealous bone in your body . Only trust in me.

You my darling believed in me. You saw me in all my glory even if it was only a foreshadowing of who I have become.

You walked with me laying down all the hopes and dreams of a "normal" life. Others saw you as a white horseman reaching down for the gutter child. Never did you ever see yourself that way. You saw us always as equals in the eyes of God in the eyes of that love we reflected back and forth.

Many years you played a duel role in my life as husband friend parent teacher healer a child helping another child so that we might grow into adult hood together.

My Dear beloved friend my lover dear husband and father of our young your love has kept me longing for breadth when it was the only thing that could of done so.

You have grown into glorious manhood along side this woman once child. Your an example that many would gain honor from.  Even within the humanity of your frailty that spirit of humility shines through.

Dear soul my friend you are true faced to me. I trust in you always. Even when we disagree you hear me and listen. I love that man who you are. Never a bone to destroy. Never a thought to slaughter life or anything living. No joy find you in the kill of a beast or the destruction of a man. You are he who would weep of such things.

I love who you are. You are safe and true. Quarks yes...shoot um' ups on computer aside :) it is a joy. Then that's just me and you accept that it is me.

You accept me, fight for me, believe in me. Longing always to bring me/us life more abundant.

This is your heart for me. Your life laid down for the others around you. Seldom ever longing with envy or resentment for those things that your sacrifice has left you with loss.

Never let go of your dreams my friend. We may not see how they could come true...but for you it is my desire they do so.

It is easy to like who you are.  You embrace the world around you with silent compassion. Those who God cares for do you also long for them the best life can give them. This is a beauty around you.

Oh your laughter, the balance you bring in our family. The playfulness you share with your children is a spark of light that will glow within them their entire lives.

You have sparked that same glow within me. You are that light set up in our home and my darling you shine.

You Shine.

You...you light up my life.
