An Ode to my Valentine....

This week in our household has been rough. We have had many stresses but illness has been paramount in our home. Our Hunter has strep throat and an ear infection and I have had the flu. I have never felt so weak and helpless in my life and Hunter has been tired, not sleeping, not eating, crying all this time, etc. You know the drill. The countless times you get up with your baby when your body is crying out for sleep. But, you must sacrifice yourself for the ones you love the most.

That is what my Valentine did for me this week. He does it all the time in quiet ways. Checks the air pressure in the tires, leaves the outside light on when I come home from work, helps me make the bed...
But, this week was different. I needed Sean in a thousand different ways and in a thousand and one ways he came through. He gave boys showers, he gave boys dinners, he drew me bathes, he made lunches, he read countless stories, he gave me hugs and hugs and hugs and listened to me cry, he brought me Pepsis, he brought me blankets. He never one time had to tell me he loved me because he was showing me in so many ways. Isn't that the best? We'll never make a Kay's commercial, they'll never make a movie about our love but to me that is TRUE LOVE. Taking the hard weeks and sacrificing and coming home tired and never complaining and loving someone when they are at their lowest. I thank God mightily for my husband and my best friend and my Valentine......
