I figured it was time to post something new. Lately I haven't had the time to do much. Life gets overwhelming- you know how it is. Kids need this and that. House needs clean, groceries... ugh! Grocery shopping... lame. Work, eat, sleep. Work, eat, sleep. I'm, of course, exaggerating. I have someone wonderful in my life to help out with everything. Let me tell you about my wife.
I can't tell you how much I love this woman. It would take too long and, frankly, you might get bored of it. What I can tell you is what she does for me that makes me love her so much. She is my everything. She raises our children- biologically hers or not- and holds the fort together while I'm off at work. I can try to do her job but it is much more frustrating than what I deal with at work most of the time. She is my reporter and my acountant. She is my chef and my maid. She is my... well, you get the idea.
When I met Ashley I somehow knew I would spent the rest of my eternal life with her. It might have been a look or a feeling or... I don't know. Either way, I knew it- she knew it. I could say the rest is history and "they all lived happily ever after" but it doesn't really go like that, does it? We have had our fair share of pain and heartache in our lives both individually and together. I won't get into all of them but I will touch on just one- Parker.
Parker is a mini Ashley. If you know her- you would know him and our little monsters, Blake and Ella, are the same as well: full of life with a positive attitude towards the worst of things. That is just another reason I love her so much. When Parker past away on May 23, 2009, our lives were turned up-side down. We didn't know what to do, what direction to go or how to even cope with the new life we were about to embark. It is hard to lose someone you love but I don't truly know how it feels to lose a child. Don't get me wrong- Parker is my son because I adopted him and I love him as much. But he isn't my blood and I do believe that makes things a little different. Her pain is greater without her showing it. I know that, though we don't talk about it.
Ashley is a strong woman. She is stronger than me, although she might say otherwise. She has felt the biggest pain that life can experience. But you wouldn't know that by just simply knowing her. You would have to go beyond the beautiful, contagious smile. She is the type of person that can make you feel good about life no matter what it throws your way. I know this because she is my wife and I feel this everyday. When she smiles, I smile. When she's happy, I'm happy. She is what keeps me going through life one stressful day at a time. She may not be certain of what our future holds but I can always count on her to help me not worry about it as much. And for that, too, I love her.
Look, I can go on and on about the things she does or how she makes me feel but get to know her for yourself. Get to know her if you don't already. Get to know her because.... I know you will benefit from it- but not quite as much as I have.
