today is my husband’s birthday….i always take time to write something thoughtful about my children, so i wanted to take a moment and do the same for him…no those of you who have no tolerance for gushing, do no read on further….i intend to gush….alot….he is the most wonderful man…
he is the truly most amazing person i’ve ever known….he’s such an interesting mix of strength & incredible kindness….i seriously never thought i would be this lucky….this happy….he is more than i dreamed of…..a wonderful father….so kind & accepting…he’s nurturing & endlessly calm…..
to our three children….he is so full of patience….its awe inspiring…seriously, i am not blessed with such a trait….and yet he is clear & constant with them, so that they are relatively well behaved…..oh and he’s funny….i mean we laugh & have crazy serious gin rummy battles….do not bring out a deck of cards or a monopoly board….in fact board games in general can bring on epic contests….we are both a bit competitive…….and just for the record i am the gin rummy champion, no matter what he might say….
i am eternally grateful for his presence….our home is calm because of him….i am often going in several different directions at once….i have to just to keep up….and he’s always there, calm, unresentful….he loves that i follow my dreams & never makes me feel bad that it at times takes me from our family….for this i could never thank him enough…i am deeply in love with my best friend….he makes me wiser, definitely calmer….he makes me think & look at things from different sides…when he kisses me, i am ummm speechless…..i told you there would be lots of gushing…
now, please don’t get me wrong….we’ve been through hard times…like everyone…times where we didn’t see eye to eye….times when i didn’t feel such adoration….but we went through the bumps & made it out the other side….together….perhaps that’s why i am so grateful now…the world is full of pain & hardship but our home is a place where i feel safe….& when we are together i feel at home….
he is so giving…he has worked with mentally challenges adults & children for years…..over the past two years he created a private club team around our eldest daughter & niece who are both talented young athletes….now he spends several days a week training & teaching the girls every thing he’s know about basketball….and he know alot….he is a fantastic basketball player….he played professionally over seas for several years….know he actually created a non-profit organization dedicated to the development of young basketball players….i told you, he’s amazing….too good to be true….and yet every morning when i wake up….there he is…smiling….ready for another day….
in the evenings we hold hands…every night….its sweet & so full of love….
so happy birthday mr moore….we love you so much…xoxo
