Living With A Grateful Heart

We're trying to make a lot of small videos like this one. Maybe someday I'll put them in a montage. Today I would prefer to enjoy the real thing. Today is our 14th wedding anniversary. There was a time when someone told me Patrick should have told me about his family history of heart disease when we started dating. I thought it was absurd. They were implying I could have chosen to find someone else instead of dating the guy who made me incredibly happy. I'm glad we have had these last fifteen years together. I'm glad we got married when we did, and I'm glad we have created our perfect little family with unique, special kids and a love between he and I that has stood the test of time. This last year has been tough. Man, has it been tough! But we live each day as though we have forever stretching out in front of us; as though our time together isn't limited. We may not achieve everything on our bucket list before Patrick is taken home, but that's okay. He and I are living the biggest bucket list item, and that's being loved unconditionally by our spouse. It's a dream many never achieve. Thanks to everyone who follows this page, everyone in our church and everyone in our support network. We feel the love, and we return it <3
