My Eternal Companion

This past week has been such a humbling experience for Mike and I. We have learned to rely on each other for comfort. I have learned that it breaks my husband's heart to see me sad. I have learned how so thankful I am that this amazing priesthood holder asked me to be his eternal companion. I'm so happy that he had high standards like me and that we got married in the temple, for time and all eternity. I have relied so much on him this past week. I have probably emotionally drained him. I have been so focused in my grief and loss that I forgot that my husband is sad too. At times I think that he's going to get sick of me crying all the time, but he is so patient. He makes sure to tell me how much he loves me every chance he gets. He's always so thankful when I do little things like cook dinner for him or do laundry, specially right now that I don't feel like doing much of anything. How did I get so lucky? Michael is such a great example to me. He is so strong in the Gospel. He is a great priesthood holder. He is always helping someone even without being asked. He's patient, calm, and kind. I can't wait till he becomes a dad one day. He Is going to be one heck of a daddy! Having him with me while giving birth made me see how much he cares about me. He kept telling me how proud he was of me and how much he loved me. I can't imagine life without him. All day I sit around and wait for him to come home. I'm so happy that our marriage is not till death do us part, but that it is eternal. I love you Michael!
