Please note, the original of this entry has now been replaced. While I wrote it to prove a point I realized it wasn't doing anything for my heart...here's a new crack at it.
Kenneth, I love you for...
- staying in the hospital with me every night I was in there; even though it was uncomfortable, cold, and you didn't get much sleep as a result.
- asking me if I have taken all my medication so that later I wont be in any pain.
- always asking me "how are you feeling" or "do you need anything" many times a day.
- saying I Love You at every opportunity.
- not complaining when I toss and turn the entire night and you don't get much sleep.
- looking at my tongue and saying, "it looks like it's healing, I'm proud of you..." instead of something else.
- asking a million and one questions to the doctor even when I don't want to ask or when I don't think to ask.
- researching my disease, finding everything and anything about it so you are prepared for it all.
- dealing with all the chaos that this has now brought into our lives.
- taking care of the laundry, cleaning, cooking, among all the other chores while I get back on my feet.- sleeping in with me because now I want to.
- emailing, texting, and calling my friends and family who are concerned about me.
- giving me kisses even when my breath stinks.
- actually meaning what you vowed: in sickness and in health.
- wanting only positive people, thinking, and wishes around me and not settling for less.
- taking notes and being with me at every appointment thus far.
- keeping me calm when I get crazy worried.
- letting me cry and even sharing a tear or two with me.
- realizing that my small steps are major improvements and pointing them out for me.
- taking care of me, our families, the household, and work, and still managing to take care of yourself.
- being the only person to really truly understand every word I say.
- being YOU.
I love you and I am so lucky that I have you in my life! How blessed I am that our paths crossed so long ago! I know in my heart how much we mean to each other. We have come so far and we have grown so much with one another. I know we both look forward to our future together. No matter what anyone thinks or says, it always comes back to you and me...."I got you Babe!"
