Shawn


There are few things in our life right now that seem to be going right but I have to tell you that I am so in love with my husband.

Sometimes lately it seems we only have time to be more roommates than husband and wife but I am constantly amazed at his strength. Not for one moment does he stop and think about himself. Not for one moment does he just say okay leave me alone I need to be me for a minute he is constantly seeing if I am okay or his siblings are okay and the list goes on.

I am constantly reminding him that he is allowed to feel however he wants right now. That he is allowed to push us all aside and think of himself but he doesn’t. I am not sure that if I had to watch my mom dying in a hospital bed everyday I would be able to focus on anything but myself but somehow he does.


I am so honoured to be his wife.

I am more in love with him every day that I wake up than I was when I went to bed the night before. He is a good reminder that there are still decent faithful people in this world.

My prayer is that I can be the kind of wife that he deserves. I want to be able to lift him up and make him laugh, when he laughs at my jokes I feel important and when he wraps his arms around me I feel safe.

How did I ever get so lucky.

I am so privileged that amongst all the chaos I have a husband that provides a calm steadiness in my life.

I can tell you when I woke up this morning that I didn’t really want to get out of bed. Facing life right now has been the toughest thing I have had to do in my life, but being able to face it with someone I love and I know who loves me makes it worth getting out of bed.

Thank you Jesus for reminding me today that I am not alone and that I have an incredible man to walk beside.

  2. What a beautiful tribute. I think that you are both there for each other. God has blessed you both.

    Once again I wish I was closer so I could be there for both good times and bad, I can't be so I keep you in my thoughts and prayers.
