He's AMAZING!

Every marriage has problems. No marriage is perfect and our marriage has many imperfections but the one thing that is true is that I have married an amazing man.

He takes such good care of me, our children and our home. With all that I can't do these days Ray has picked up the slack. He vacuums, he does laundry....wash, dry, fold and put away. He does grocery shopping when I can't or he takes me and pushes the cart because it's too much pressure on my back when it's full. He mops my floor, bathes the kids (well helps Faith wash her hair), he irons my clothes and his, he cooks dinner and cleans the kitchen....and he remembers to wash the counters and move things. He does so much for us.

The man works 70 hours a week and spends his days off picking up my slack. It kills me that he has taken on so much. He knows I hate when the house is messy. He understands that I can't relax in a house that is not clean. He gets that because of my OCD I will work myself into the ground, regardless of how much it hurts, just to make sure this house is clean and he helps me every...single... day.

He is amazing.

He rubs my back when it hurts so much I can't take it anymore. He holds me while I cry and vent my frustrations of having such a limited life right now. He encourages me to do things for me. To rest. To take naps. To scrapbook when I am up to it. He is amazing.

I recently asked him if he would go to Weight Watchers with me because the less I weight the better off my back and especially my hip will be. I am so limited in exercise but I need to do this. He agreed to go with me....even to the meetings. We will do it "together" he said. I can't tell what that means to me. From the bottom of my heart I thank him and I love him.

I couldn't do any of this without him. My heart aches because he deserves "Ray time" and not doing everything that I can't do. He tells me "it's what needs to be done". He doesn't complain.....ever!

He is amazing and I want everyone to know.

I love you Ray! Thank you for everything you do. You have no idea how much it means to me.

Always, forever and a day.....
me :)
