the singularity of being and nothingness
An Anniversary Ode to My Wife
This August 23rd marks the 8-year anniversary of my marriage to my beautiful wife, Brooke. Eight years seems like a long time, but honestly it has flown by, and through the good and the bad, I’m grateful for and humbled by the blessing of the time that we’ve had together.
I could continue on in a sappy vein, but I thought I’d share a “Top Ten” (or so) of the very best reasons to be married to Brooke.
- She’s hot 🙂
- She wrangles will phone bills, car payments, and all the other fiscal responsibilities that would be left undone if I were left to myself
- She’s a great mother to our wonderful daughter
- She consistently takes care of the laundry 😉
- She is hilarious, and is patient with my feeble (read failed) attempts at the same
- She doesn’t let me mope, and calls me on it when I try to pretend that I’m not bothered about something!
- She has a very positive outlook on the future for our lives, and motivates me (or drags me, when needed!) to get the best out of it
- She’s extremely empathetic, and is able to comfort me and lift my spirits when I’m sad, sick, hurt, and everything in between
- She’s a constant inspiration for me to be a better husband and father. Yes, I know it’s slow work (painfully slow, I suspect), but I’m trying, I promise!!!
- Sharing life with her makes me feel complete and satisfied–no matter what comes and goes in life, being together is more than enough for me
Bonus #11: She has a great family that is fun to be around and supports us through the ups and downs in life!
Brooke, I love you very much! Happy 8th, and here’s to the next 8! 🙂
