My Husband



My husband:



He’s kind, considerate, unassuming….happy, positive, loving and loved. He’s respectable, humble, modest and decent…Selfless, empathetic, generous and nurturing.

He always greets me with a cheerful “Hey Baby!” His love for Christ is immense and his love for me has no conditions. He lifts those he loves in prayer; daily keeping his daughter covered in the blood of Jesus, laying her at the foot of the cross….keeping a quiet strength, faithfully believing she is in God’s hands. His love is engulfing.


He remembers, plans, and surprises….he connects, forgives, and knows when to step back. He’s a loyal father, grandfather, son, brother, friend and businessman…he is devoted to his wife, his family and his Lord.


He doesn’t brag or boast or pretend he’s something he’s not….he likes who he is and thanks God for who and what he has. He’s a man of honor and integrity; he’s reputable and dedicated to his work.


He values his step-son and daughter and cherishes his grandsons. He is proof that a step father and step son can have an unbreakable bond. He loves my children and grandchildren, thinks about them and looks forward to their visits. He calls my mom “ma” and can’t understand a word my grandma says. He laughs when he’s nervous, and holds me tight when he’s sad. He misses his daughter and wonders what happened to his best friend.


He’ll always have your back and he’ll tell you what he thinks only if you want to know or care to listen. He minds his own business and stands firm on principle.


He’s an old soul with a luminous heart….he’s unhurried, even tempered, and always constant…he whistles while he works and never misses an opportunity to wink at me or say “Hey, I like you, ya know.”….he’s sweet, comical and his quick wit can be side splitting.


He’s my soul mate, my love, my rock…he makes me happy and he believes in me.

He’s my husband.
