Mommy

Mother's Day!

Here's the crew, all ready for Mother's Day at church.  Mama surrounded by her kids.  

We've got it rather good.  Good kids, a great mom, and a whole day to dedicate to remembering Mom!  Mother's Day can be a lot of fun.  There's always lots to do on Sundays as church fills much of the day.  After a good meal and some conversation, we can finally relax a little.  

So I sit here and again consider just how wonderful Amy is.  As this week rolls through several key days and historical events, she just kept pushing along.  By Sunday, she's wreaked.  She's worked so hard getting ready for the weekend, that she's overdone it and is hurting really bad.  She has to take her pain medication for her back and she needs to sleep some more.  But not yet, Paige is up and Mommy wants to play with the little girl.  Who knows how long either of them will be up for this, but for as long as it lasts, it's fun to watch!  She's such a great mom.

The older kids have been busy writing cards for Amy; giving her a little personal touch on this special day.  Paige just tries to be good, but she's teething, so "good" may not be on the agenda for tonight.  Me, I just think about how lucky I am to be married to this wonderful woman.

For the last week, that John Legend song, "All of Me," keeps running through my head.  It just seems so perfect, in a funny sort of way.  I love Amy, with all that she is.  Neither of us is perfected yet, but we just keep looking at the good and working around the "not-so-good."  I love all that she is, as she is.  Although we might be tempted at times to want to change our spouse, I'm sure I wouldn't.  What ever we have to go through, we have to go through together to be better (someone will need to remind me of this later when things aren't so smooth...and it will probably require a somewhat forceful reminder!).  

So we just hold on and wait as we continue on this journey, together.  I love her for who she is.  Sweet.  Loving.  Caring.  Self-sacrificing.  Persistent.  Etc, etc, etc.  She really is just simply wonderful.

I Always Love My Wife.
