My Main Squeeze

As I begin this new year, I have been doing alot of reflecting; thinking about where I am now compared to a year ago.  Of course, lots of changes have come.  But one of the constants in my life has been Jeremy.  This last year has had it's emotional challenges.  I continue to go through pre-menopause (and at 38 with two young kids-it's been emotional!).  My father was diagnosed with bone marrow cancer in May; that's been very emotional too. Through out it all, Jeremy has been there, at my side.  He's not perfect,  no one ever is.  However, I think he's perfect for me.  He holds me when I just need to be held.  He comforts me where there is pain.  He makes me laugh.  And, he makes me feel beautiful; inside and out.  He comes home from work, ready to be Daddy when he walks through the door.  Sometimes his presence is all that I need, knowing backup has arrived turns my attitude around.  He takes days off of work, just so I can support my parents.  He makes a huge effort to help with housework and yard work.  He loves me, even when I feel crazy and angry and totally unlovable.  He takes care of our things with a special kind of thoughtfulness that is unique.  He loves his children deeply and it shows with how involved he is in their daily lives.

Jeremy and I, this Christmas.  Decmeber 2011

This last year, our marriage and relationship has climbed to a new level of trust, love, and depth.  I feel so very grateful.  Today, he went back to work after 11 days of vacation.  I miss him.  Thank you, Babe, for being you.  You are my star and I love you so VERY much!
