The Trials of a Busy Mom

Cherish the ones you love

You want to know what love is? This post by Amy took my breath away, and made me cry. She really puts into words her extremely personal feelings about her late husband.

I hope I can appreciate and cherish my family, and especially my dear husband now, and this post reminds me that I need to express my love to them more often. I hope to do better at that.
Thank you to my husband, who puts up with my crazy life. I mean, really, he should have known when he married me that I wasn’t going to be content to just sit home and clean all the time. But he’s gone along with my silly plans to go off and do things, my obsession with winning things, and my creative ideas for family fun. He holds down the fort while I pursue my fantasy of being on stage, and supports me in all things bell choir related. He is sweet with the kids, patient and loving when needed, but tough when he has to be. He even dressed up in a Darth Mall Costume and let 9 crazy 5 year olds take him down. He supports our family without complaining, which is a quality that not every husband has. He lets me make my own choices and would support me in almost anything I decided to do. No, he’s not the greatest help when it comes to housework, but I guess I can live with that. He loves me unconditionally, and he loves the kids as much as any father I know. He can fix just about anything, except maybe the neighbor’s computer, which he’s been working on for about a week, now. And that laptop that he was going to fix and give me for mother’s day. *ahem* He knows all kinds of useless trivia, but at least he knows it. If I were on a game show, he would most likely be my “phone-a-friend”. Because he really is smart. He honors his priesthood and faithfully fulfills his callings both as a ward clerk and nursery leader, and he loves it when the little kids call him “Daddy.”

My tribute may not be as good as Amy’s but there is no shortage of love there. Ryan, You da Man, and I love you!

    I was so glad to find out I wasn’t the Amy who blogged about her husband!
