#thewayhelovesmeisntnormal
Sometimes I wake up and think that this could not possibly be my life. I still find myself thinking that the carpet is going to be pulled out from under my feet and push my down hard onto my rear end.
There is no perfect. There is no easy and simple.
The truth is that our life is hard. Everyones life is right?
Here is what I know. Andy has been my best friend from the minute I met him. Truly, he and I connected right away. He was the first person I met that I didn't question what our relationship was, could be, or would be. As friends we just enjoyed one anothers company and conversation. As time moved on and we became a couple it just seemed natural and normal. Again, there were ups and downs....Those ups and downs help make our story what it is.
I have no idea how long we have "been together." I think it is somewhere around ten years...I know we have been married for almost seven. I also know that I still fall madly in love with him often.
This past weekend we got some serious down time while attending our dear friends wedding. Being just the two of us for four days was MAGICAL. Being parents, business owners, spouses, a nurse, a consultant, and all the labels we have in our day-to-day really takes its toll after awhile. So, again, four days of just the two of us. We laughed, enjoyed long brunches with HOT coffee, walks together, getting lost looking for the next place to visit, and countless hours of "Law & Order" re-runs. Magical.
This man is my partner and I his. We have difficult conversations and funny ones. We can laugh and cry together.
Staying strong together through the darkest times has made us such a brighter couple. WE are FAR from perfect and both have our flaws. This man, my partner...he loves me deeply and with his whole being. The way he loves me isn't "normal" because we aren't normal.
The way he looks at me still makes my heart flutter.
I adore holding his hand and I love that at night he always is somehow finding a way for us to be touching.
He is funny and weird. Kind and harsh. Honest and caring.
All the things.
This may sound overly sappy and annoying to some. To others not. Here is the point to this....Whatever you think you deserve....YOU DO. Being loved like this is something I knew was out there, but I just had to be patient to get it. SO worth the wait. Even though the way he loves me isn't normal; the way I love him isn't either.
The man who started as my
-friend
-became my best friend
-turned into my partner
-asked to be my husband
-transformed into my children's Papa
-continues to be my partner, best friend, lover and confidant.
