June is beginning. And as May ends, so does the 5 month span I have had with a life of a single parent. This is the last and final month of my husband being away in Australia. His expected return day is fast approaching and I cannot explain how relieved I am feeling. Every day his arrival approaches faster and faster and I am almost more anxious now then I was to start. This countdown is much harder than the previous one and I find myself in complete anticipation.
Life has certainly changed, what with a new baby and all. I have adjusted to this life taking care of two children by myself and I feel so much stronger because of it. I became a single mother of one, to a single mother of two in almost an instance and thank goodness I have a really easy baby boy. If it weren't for him being so easy-going, I'm not sure I would be able to do this by myself. God really does not place more than we can handle on us.
I hadn't been a part from my husband for longer than a week since we started dating in December of 1999. This leap we took has definitely changed our lives dramatically and has taught us both how much we appreciate the other person so much more. I have taken for granted all the little things that he does around the house and with the kids. Even having him lying next to me at night is something I have taken grown so used to that I had forgotten how much I appreciated. My love for him has grown so much. The things he has sacrificed for his family have made me realize what a truly selfless person he really is. I am now, more than ever, very proud of the man God gave me.
I love you Terry!
