Amy

Wow!  I really love my wife.  

I have been blessed to marry a very special, beautiful, wonderful woman.  

She is sweet, kind, loving, polite, forgiving, gentle, mild, and always thinking of others.

I get to spend my life with her and then all of eternity as well.  It just may be the best deal I have ever cut!

So, as I continue this journey with her, I want to work even harder at making our life together as wonderful as possible.  She always sees me in an incredible light.  She sees me as some great man (and I'm NOT!).  But she chooses to see the best in me and frequently overlooks, or ignores, my "imperfections."  In order to respect what she has done for me and in the spirit of gratitude for just that, I am beginning this blog to chronicle all the wonderful things she is and does so that I can always see the best in her as she sees in me.

I'll begin with a big one.  At great risk to her own life, a few months after we got married she told me that she knew that we were to have another child!  The risk to her life was not because she wanted another child, but that it would cause her to enter into a very risky pregnancy, one that would risk her life on 3 different levels, any one of which could have killed her.  And yet, she was serious.  So, after much prayer and fasting, I came to understand what she did: We were to have another child.  I say "another" because we each came to this marriage with a child from a previous marriage.  I brought a 15 year old son and she brought a 13 year old daughter.  And now we were about to throw a new born baby into this volatile mix!  But when God tells you very clearly what He wants you to do, you do what you're told to do! And that's what we did.

She went through a very tough pregnancy.  As I said, she had 3 big risk factors, any one of which could have spiraled out-of-control and killed her by itself, but with the three of them working together, we were biting our nails all the way through.  Amy was unstoppable.  She didn't complain, she just did what she could and waited.  It time, the problems waxed and wained, yet never really subsided, never went away.  She was determined to bring this child into this world.  And in the end, she did.  In November, two years ago, she gave birth to another beautiful daughter, Paige!  

I would like to thank her for this wonderful gift.  She has blessed our family with one of the sweetest little spirits I have ever seen.  She risked her life to bring this child to us.  She has done such a wonderful thing for Paige by being her mother.  She has blessed Paige's life in that way while blessing ours by sharing Paige with all of us.  How wonderful is this life!

 

I Always Love My Wife!!!
