A Letter To Todd

My Dear Husband,



When I was a little girl, I played make believe.


I pretended to cook and clean and to be a Momma to my baby dolls. (I did not role play walking around WalMart 8 months pregnant with a six year old melting down, while you spin her around in the shopping cart to make her happy again; because there are some things that you must experience to truly appreciate).


But in my naive mind, I imagined a man, a husband. He was brave and strong and very handsome. And he loved me.


It was a dream.


And some might call this a silly fairy tale or the immature longings of a girl who loved romance.


But I call it my life.


Because you are the man of my dreams.


You are the first to hold me when I am afraid.
You are my encourager when I doubt myself.

You are the one who made me a Mother of two.

You are also the one who still leaves his clothes on the floor. (Just keeping it real).



I am not a little girl anymore. I am a woman and you are a man.


But I can't help but think of the things I didn't dream about....


I didn't dream that I would feel so safe in someones arms as I dozed off to sleep.


I didn't dream that my husband would walk with my daughter to the store to purchase me flowers just because.


I didn't dream that my husband would face his own personal battles and show me what a victor looks like.

I didn't dream that upon picking my daughter up from a family visit I'd see her run right past me and into your arms. I certaintly didn't dream of the warmth that would surround my heart upon seeing this.


I didn't dream that my man would spend four hours organizing closets with me all the while watching football rooting for the Cowboys.


Today, tomorrow, and always you make all my dreams come true. And more than anything, I want you to know that I love you more than I ever dreamed.


You are a man among men. You stand out as you lead our family. You are my heart, my life, my best friend, my soul mate.


And the best spider killer this side of the Mississippi.


You are unique and beautiful.


And you are mine.

I love you so much my handsome man and just wanted to thank you for being you. Thank you for listening to my heart and trying so hard. I hope I show you how much I truely do appreciate and adore you.

The luckiest wife in the world,
Meghan
