Happy Birthday, Scott!

Today is my wonderful husbands 33rd birthday! If I had a recent picture of him, I'd post it. He tends to run from the camera, or look like it's a mug shot. Sometimes it is hard to believe how long we've been together. He had just turned 18 (on the 18th) and I met him on the 30th. We have been together all our adult lives! He is a wonderful husband and father, and I love him dearly. Seven years ago, my grandmother died on his birthday. I had just had Aaron 3 weeks before and Grandma went into the hospital the day Aaron was born. When I received the phone call that she died early in the morning on the 18th, I was so upset. The one thing I didn't want was for her to die on Scott's birthday. Scott was very caring and understanding, but I felt like the worst wife in the world. There was no cake, cards, presents, or even family at home for him that day. I spent the whole day making funeral plans with my family, while he was at work and then came home to an empty house. What I love about him is he didn't mind at all. His main concern was for me and the kids with our loss. He thinks of us first, before himself, and is committed to making our marriage last.
Happy birthday, honey! I love you dearly!

This was written very late. His birthday is on Oct. 18th, I just am now getting on the computer!

Les, I am so glad you have such a good hubby. I do, too, and it makes life soooo much easier with our special boys, and our neuro-typical children as well.
