For my husband
I’ve been trying to write a post for my husband, we’ve been married eight years in May just gone, and here I am still trying to articulate what I want to say. It’s not going to be a soppy gushy post, I promise you won’t need a sick bucket. There’s so many things I want to say, to be thankful for.
I’m wanting to say how grateful I am that he understands that the children will always come first but at times I need to get away from them. I want to say thank you for the days when he
