Gratitude Week 2011: Thanksgiving

IMG_1757

When we were in St. John I had what I would call a mild panic attack while snorkeling.  My legs and lungs burned from swimming so far and I felt helpless like I might sink to the bottom of the ocean abyss below me.  I wasn’t thinking straight.  Then he took my hand.  This man here, who loves me despite my many flaws.  As soon as we were side by side, a calming peace came over me and I knew that everything would be alright. I did not have another panic attack the rest of our trip. 

I am so grateful to have a partner in life, in marriage, in parenting.  This man loves me so completely and I still haven’t figured out how to deserve it. As long as he is by my side, it will be alright. 

Grateful doesn’t even cover it.
