To my husband:
As you know, as we’ve experienced side-by-side, this year has been trying, to put it lightly. Your strength astounds me. My love for you is deeper and more grounded then I would have ever fathomed.
Together, we have faced our greatest fears.
I am forever grateful that not even once, not a moment or thought ever crossed your mind to blame me or my body. I am grateful for the 2 long nights you stayed awake in my freezing cold ICU room watching my blood pressure and heart rate – truly worrying for me when I could not worry for myself. Your presence allowed me to stay calm when a million other things could have gone wrong.
Thank you for staying patient with me in the months afterwards when I probably spoke less a dozen words at home, for holding me when I was overcome with sadness and exuding strength and direction what I was lost – lost within myself.
Thank you for your willingness to try for a rainbow despite our high risk status and the reality of loving a loosing again.
We are better together and I am grateful for you.
