Book Of Likes Faces

Happy 5th Anniversary to my wonderful husband, You are my heart and soul, my better half, and the support that keeps me steadfast. I appreciate all that you are and the blessings we see all the time from our mutual faith in the Lord. The friendship we have and the partnership we share are simply inexplicable. Thank you not only for your love but more importantly for being lovable. ❤ I thank you whole-heartedly for being my best friend, my better half, my strength, and one of the kindest people I have ever came across on this earth! I adore you for working so hard and never giving up. Even when you feel like life is kicking you backwards..you ALWAYS push forward! You see the best in people even when they don't deserve your loyalty. You're there when people come running even tho they were shady towards you. You almost always have that contagious smile on your face & make everyone around you laugh. You love with all of your soul and have such a huge heart. And...so much more! I am nothing short of blessed to have you to share this life with. I never imagined that after five years, that I'd still want to know A LOT more about you. I still want to know what goes on in your inspiring heart, mind, and soul and I still want you to share them with me just like you always do. I still want you by my side every time. I still want to see your face every day. Being married to you has not in the slightest way changed the way I feel about you. In fact, it has only made our mutual love stronger & deeper. I still want all of it, and I want more. Thank you for giving me the married life that I have always dreamed about. Thank you for being the husband that I want and need. You have given your life to help and encourage others and have taught me how to be a fighter, to be loving and caring, to be fair, and to always to be humble (and that life on earth is temporary, and we take nothing with us from here). Besides God Himself, you're my rock & encourager... my Soul-mate! I am so proud of you! #marriage xoxo

It has been a whirlwind of a few days for our family. Mom had a hemorrhagic stroke shortly after midnight Sunday night. We were at the ER by 3 am and she was flown to St Francis by 6 am. CT confirmed she had a stroke with bleeding on the brain. When she got to the ER her right side was numb and she couldn't use her arm or leg. We were told to prepare to have her either go into inpatient rehab or skilled nursing care if we couldn't lift her or help her move at home. Amazingly hours later she was able to move her arm and leg but could move her foot forward or have any coordination in her arm. She couldn't walk. Today, she walked all the way up the hallway with a walker on her own. She got up and down from her chair/bed. She took a shower herself and brushed her own hair with that right arm. She sat down with a therapist to fill out a complex pattern with many tiny pegs and she nailed it. Just amazing. Best news is...she is coming home tomorrow with only PT and home health care! They expect her to make a full recovery in just a few weeks. Truly amazing! Thank you to everyone that prayed and sent us your love. We thank the Lord for being with us!
