Today is our 8th Wedding Anniversary! If you would have asked me where we would be in 8 years on our wedding day, this is definitely not what I would have said. But somehow I don't believe, if everything I would have said 8 years ago today came true, life would be as meaningful as it is for us today. Our marriage and love for one another is much deeper than where they would be if everything "fell into place" for us. I know Gus loves me. How could I doubt it after everything we have been through?
My present to myself is that I will not look back at my blog from last year. Yes, it is all on my mind, but I'm not going to torture myself today. Here is my prayer instead:
God,
Thank you for blessing me with Gus as my husband for the past 8 years. Thank you for giving me his hand to hold through sickness and surgeries, infertility and adoption, house fires and the loss of loved ones, vacations and new jobs, holidays and every other day. He makes me smile. He makes me laugh. He lets me dream but gives me perspective. He lessens my pain and lightens my load. He loves me for who I am and not who he wants me to be. He is a great Pappy to our fur babies and will make a great Daddy to our future child(ren). I promise to continue to love, encourage and respect him to the best of my abilities for all of the additional (and hopefully many) years you allow us to have together. Amen.
