No one ever said that sharing your life together was going to be easy. Blending families is a mess, dealing with his things out of place can drive me nuts but there is nothing I would trade in the world for having Drew as my partner in life.
Each day with him is an absolute Joy. I never realized that you could actually miss someone you live during the 7 hours you are away from one another at work.... I do!
I am amazed on a daily basis at his compassion and unconditional love for me and his concern for what concerns me.
After mentioning to a visitor over Christmas how I couldn't stand our kitchen cabinets, "too much brown!" I came home from work one day to find them completely repainted with matching hardware installed. That simple gesture and change has made me smile everyday I walk into my house and he is the reason!
Drew was a devoted nurse to me throughout last weekend as I was dog sick. I remember thinking that I am so grateful I can be comfortable being my self around him every moment even when puking my guts up. His worry for my well being was etched in his handsome face the entire time.
This week after trying to still recuperate from my illness that I had passed on to Drew he stayed home on Monday. I came home expecting to need to take care of him that evening after receiving several calls about how awful he felt. Instead I came home to a house that had been completely cleaned and packed away of our Christmas decor. Even on his sick days he is finding ways to do for me. How blessed am I?!
Sometimes I feel like in the drama of our lives Drew gets overlooked, pushed to the back burner to allow more acknowledgement of Mom or what not. So I like to shine the spotlight on him every once in awhile because without him my spotlights would never come on!
