Oh boy- yesterday was a day to remember! You left for work in the morning and told me you were planning to stay over at the New Farm working 'til 5:30 so that you could stop by Lupito and Olivia's after to fix their broken dryer, so you wouldn't get home 'til like 7... that was sad for me, but I said I could handle it. But then, June threw up just a little bit before she went down for a nap. and I thought it was strange, but didn't think much of it. Johanna was exhausted, but didn't go to sleep the whole hour + she was in grandma's room. I had to keep telling her to stay in the room because I would hear her walking around in the kitchen, etc. After a short while, June woke up screaming and I went in to get her and there was throw up all over her and her bed :( So, I put her in the bath and cleaned her up and got some clean clothes on her. All while Johanna is being a huge butt because she is tired but won't nap. fun! and then as soon as she is all clean, June throws up again all over me and herself and I leaned her over the sink, so the sink and counters too. I took off all her clothes and brought her upstairs to grandma so I could quickly change clothing and clean up her crib and the sink area that were all covered in throw up. But when I went upstairs to get her, she had thrown up again. Anyway, she ended up throwing up 7 times! it was a mess and she was so sad. and Johanna watched 3 episodes of the Backyardigans. and I felt so defeated and exhausted. I called you and told you I couldn't handle it and please come home and fix Lupito's dryer tomorrow. So, you did. and then I had defrosted some black beans and tamales from the freezer for dinner. You got home and whisked June away to read to her so I could change clothes and clean up vomit and get dinner ready. and then the tamales were disgusting- turns out they weren't cooked yet, but you said they were soggy from sitting out all day. haha I just about cried. so you let me heat up some leftover soup and have 20 minutes to myself while eating. Anyway, I just always want to remember how you are there for me whenever I need you. When I am about to lose my cool, you always come through for me. You always support me and never tell me to try harder or not care so much about the messes or tell me what I could be doing better. You are such a light in my life. You are the best part of my every day! You are what I most look forward to all the time. Time spent with you is always my favorite. You make any bad situation so much better. and I get to look back at hard days with you and laugh. and someday, when we are old and gray and sitting on a porch swing together remembering these days, I will remember how incredible you were to me. I will remember your kind smile and your always ready arms and your quick to serve attitude. and I just want you to know how thankful I am for you! and I want you to know that I believe you are the very best choice I could have ever made. and I want you to know that I LOVE you! more than I can express in words. I hope that I express that deep love and affection to you through my actions and words every day- I hope that you always know how much I care for you. I pray that God will continue to work on my servant heart and that I will want to put you first every time. I hope that you feel supported in your work. and in your play. thank you for the incredible growth you have shown me lately- God is clearly working on your heart and I am so excited to watch you blossoming into a man of God and the spiritual leader of our family. What an incredible privilege it is to be on this adventure with you. Thank you for all that you are to me and to our girls- you are our rock!
