November Fifth: I'm on, kinda

Monday, March 30, 2009

I'm on, kinda

Today is Tom's b-day.

We stopped by my Mom's yesterday and she had a cake for him... it was very sweet.

He didn't have many special birthdays growing up. He didn't have a lot of special anything growing up. He pretty much raised himself and survived a childhood not many would. I try to let him know how special and wonderful he is. I try to make up for years of neglect. He loves with a heart as fierce as the sun. But at the same time, he is so humble, so sweet.

He works very hard and cares so much about his family, who is going through a really rough patch right now. He blames himself for not being able to be there for them. He's hurting because he wants to help them, but can't. They cannot help themselves... it is inexplicably painful to see. I want to protect him from it. Fold him in my arms and keep the pain away from him. He's been through enough.

I don't know how to help him. I cannot express how much my heart is aching for this incredible person.

Can we ever feel like we love someone enough? I can't. I can love and love and love him and still he lets me love him as much as I want-- and returns that love a thousand times to me.

I am so lucky to have him in my life, so lucky to have him as my husband and partner.

He doesn't usually read my blog, but just in case he peeks in today:

Happy birthday, sweetheart.

I love you.

PS: Thank you all for the support and congrats. It means more than you will ever know...

Aliceson, March 30, 2009 at 2:18 PM: Now I want to hug my husband. What a sweet birthday message.

I hope you two have a great day together!
Anonymous, March 30, 2009 at 7:19 PM: I agree with Diana. reminds me of one of my favorite lines from a movie. In Pretty Woman, Julia Roberts had told Richard Gere that it was a childhood dream that her true love would come and rescue her. He wasn't ready so she left. He later decides he cannot live without her and goes to her home. he climbs up the fire escape, hands her flowers and says, "After the knight rescues her, what happens next." And she looks right at him and says, "She rescues him right back."

Happy birthday Tom! I hope you both enjoy the day!
Chris, March 30, 2009 at 7:21 PM: OKay I'm crying now!!!!! I think you just let him know how special he is and hope he does read your blog today...it doesn't surprise me that someone who wasn't taken care of, knows how that feels, has lots of stored up love, and has the need to give it back....lucky you! Happy Birthday!!!!!

You seem to have reminded a good number of us to hold tight onto our love and loved ones. Thanks.

I really appreciate most of you who have taken the time to read my posts and leave your comments. While I may not agree with what you say, many good things come from the discussion of issues that are difficult and contentious. You never know when there will be common ground, or, at least a better understanding of who we are and why we believe in things in the way that we do.

A few of you have used the privilege of commenting to indulge in cyberstalking, mobbing, going way off topic, to advertise your blogs, and to rant about not much of anything or to harass (or all of the above). I realize that is a subjective determination, but this is my blog and you are my guest.

Think of yourself as being in my home and how you would act if you were a guest in my home and I will do the same.

One has nothing to do with the other and if you make posts to further an agenda that is off topic, you may risk having them deleted.
