Wish Granted...

These days it seems that the item highest atop my personal wish list is to have more time with my husband.  Silly it seems, that even though most days we do see one another,there are many a day that I miss him terribly...  I understand that we are at place in our lives where the large majority of our time and attention is focused on our children and their well being.  Days are full, nights are short... sleep is pure bliss... this I know for sure...  I also know that time can distance any relationship, be that your relationship with a dear friend, or that with your dear husband.  I have made a huge attempt to re-connect with my husband on a daily basis... We shared ideas and thoughts about this reconnection about a  month or so ago, and I can't even tell you what a huge difference it had made for us.  We have swapped television time with time to talk... not just about our work day and our children but about one another and our future... I look forward to seeing him at the end of the day and race Sebastian to the garage when we hear his truck pull up... I reminded myself to look at him not only as the father of my children, but as the beautiful man that I married and get to spend the rest of my life with.  I want to made every day of his that much better because of my involvement in it... 

I recently came across a little book that was given to Antohony and I  as a pre-marital gift from a very sweet old man, whom became a friend to both Anthony and I, and would later marry us...... He was well into his eighties and married to his beautiful bride of sixty some years.  It was in their great example of love and patience that we accepted this little book titled "Keeping Your Love Alive...creative tips for lasting romance"  I had not opened the book sense the day that it was gifted to us, and I have discovered that within its pages lie some very honest and true words...  I feel that for a brief moment I forgot to love my husband for who he is, day in and day out... Not just the father to our boys and the provider to our household, but the talented, kind hearted man that he is... I love you honey and I can't wait until you get home...
