Happy Mother's Day!


So, for a long time, I have been thinking about posting something about my husband, but like many things when it comes to him, I push him to the back burner and do something else. I just want him to know what a wonderful husband and father I think he is. He goes out of his way to put me first, to make sure my needs are met. I am so grateful for him and for everything he does for me to help me be a better person, wife and mother.
I don't know how a person can be so giving of themselves and always strive to give all they have... He works so hard for our family so I can have a nice house, and car and things for the kids. We have never wanted for anything. He has become all that I could ask for in a husband.
We have grown closer over the years. Each year has gotten better and better and I fall more and more in love with him as time passes. I am so grateful that he puts up with my shortcomings and loves me in spite of them, or maybe because of them. He always strives to make me feel like the most beautiful and wonderful person. His nickname for me is "Bonita" which he always thought meant Beautiful, (he just found out a couple of weeks ago that it means pretty, but to us it is Beautiful) He has this daring streak which I try to ignore, but as much as it worries me, it is also one of the reasons I fell in love with him.
I'm sorry this isn't as eloquent as so many of my other friends posts are, I should've had one of them write it. But I just love you Jacob and am so lucky to have you in my life.
Thanks for making this Mother's Day a Special day and for the wonderful card you gave me and for helping me be a better person!
"Love you Babe!"

What a sweet tribute! You don't need anyone else to write it....you wrote it so beautifully.

I understand what you mean about the daring streak. My hubby has a crazy daring streak and it has always freaked me out, although he has thankfully mellowed out a bit since he has had kids. But his "mellow" is another person's "wild"!

Maybe we need to get our hubbies together....or...maybe that could be too dangerous!

Very sweet! I have always loved the way that Jacob adores you! You can see it in his eyes!

And, as far as I have always understood it, "bonita" may have the literal translation to "pretty", but I am pretty sure they use it as a noun the way we would call someone "beautiful" like a pet name. So Bonita is perfectly appropriate! And, bonita you are :)
