Blessed.
I don't think I've ever expressed how much I really feel for my husband and son. And looking over photographs that we took this weekend, I can't seem to hold it all in or hold myself together. I've been truly blessed and I think it's time for you all to know how blessed. If you know anything about me, you know how much I've waited and prayed for a GOOD man to come along and sweep me off my feet. To fill my heart with such joy that I couldn't possibly be happy without him. The past 3 years with Matt have been hard. I'm not even going to try to pretend that we're perfect or that we don't have struggles. We're a normal family with normal issues and trials, but God has blessed us with a wonderful understanding of how to love and listen and msot of all forgive when the time is right. I know that there are some reading this, and you know who you are, who think this is sappy and stupid. But it's important to me. I was blessed not only with a family who loves me and accepts me as I am, for who I am and what I believe in, but who accepted this man who came along with the sole purpose of loving me and trying his hardest to make sure I am happy and safe. A man who believes in me and has faith in me. A man who is capable of treating me the way I should be treated and not dumping me out when things got too hard or complicated for him. I wouldn't be half of who and what I am right now, at this moment, without Matt. Without my son, William. I've fallen so deeply in love with this little boy who just came into my world and made everything crazy. A little boy who kisses me when I'm sad and laughs with me when I'm happy. I've never felt such love towards such a tiny human being in my entire life and my world would crumble without him. At nineteen I never dreamed, let alone EXPECTED to have such joy, happiness and love in my life. I'm so full of love and life that even the darkest times seem so far away and they almost seem as though they never happened. I've been so blessed. And I thank God everyday for all that He's done for me and my family. For giving us the strength and love to be who we are and to have what we have. I only hope that someday, all of you - my friends - will be able to look back and read this saying, "I know what you mean, Sallie. I'm here and it's beautiful."
