I tell people that I picked my husband up out of a Darwin gutter which is true. On a girls night out with my still dearest friend Ms Jones I had spotted him earlier outside so it was later that evening I went out of the club I was in and grabbed him. Now despite however I treated him in those first few weeks {he was just the man in uniform fling} I knew he was the one and he has rocked my world in every sense ever since.
And so it his birthday today we met when he was 24 and now we are both fast approaching forty and I can’t believe what we have a achieved. The places and depths that we have both been to would overwhelm most but not us and since I am a writer and he is a talker these are some of things I want to tell my husband…
- You balance me out. You are fearless I am not. We thrive off being different and I like that. It’s our strength not our weakness. Except when we are renovating…then it’s a whole new ball game and I will not approach you when you have a hammer in your hand…simple.
- You encourage me to better at everything and I want to be a better person because you have faith in me. You taught me to laugh at myself. To see the funny side.
- I am so proud of you. When we met you lacked confidence. You didn’t think you had it in you to be anything now you manage things stuff and people. You create things resolves things and have faith in yourself. You are not the same man you were at 24 you are bigger and better. I am so proud of where you have come from I tell the world about you anyone that will listen or can listen because the ugly cry is usually involved.
- I had children because of you and some days when I am cleaning pee off the wall I curse you but because of you I have a family I have this.
- You have put your dreams on hold for us so we can have this life together I don’t think I can ever say thank you enough.
- You don’t mind the ugly cry well at least pretend you don’t want to head to the hills instead you let me use you as a tissue.
- When I say I’m fat and ugly or that I am not aging well like you; you tell me otherwise all without rolling your eyes because you have heard it all so many times before.
- I love it that I have had to ask that you save yourself if there was ever an accident at work because I know that you would always put others before yourself but remember I need you to wake up every morning.
- I need you to get rid of some of your jackets there is no space left in the cupboards…when you have more than you can wear its called hoarding…
- I like it when you just know to take over..that I am tired and the thinking and doing needs to be done for me..
You are funny, sexy, an amazing husband, father and best friend you are everything to me and I fall deeper in love with you every day and the thought that this could disappear leaves me with a sense of panic each time you leave me.
Husband there is so much more I could say but like PDA {and because I know you wont know what that means ‘public display of affection’} there is a limit so let’s not get carried away with ourselves but you know the rest …
Happy birthday husband. I love you.
Xx Deb
