Day 2: Thankful for ability to love and respect

Day 2:
I'm thankful for my ability to love and respect my husband and son the way that they deserve.  I love that I can give to them unconditionally and expect nothing in return because they owe me nothing and I owe them everything. 

I love starting and ending my day with kisses from them because that makes me happy! I love that Micah and I can gang up on his dad during tickle wars and that one of Micah's favorite things in the world to do is wrestle with his daddy.  I find great joy in watching them bond and make memories together, especially when I am able to sit back and observe.  I am completely overwhelmed at times and their calming effect on me is absolutely amazing.  No matter the stresses we have in our life, we can always make each other laugh by saying one of our little inside comments that only we will understand.

I sometimes forget for a split second how important they are to me until I take that moment of quiet to calm myself down and remember what is important.  No friend, engagement, job or other obligation I have committed myself to is more important than them.  God is first and for most on the totem pole, but my Micah and Craig are second hands down.  They give me solace and fill up my cup when everyone/thing else is trying to empty it. They make me a better person every because I love them with my entire being and want them to be happy, healthy and strong.
