My husband and I have been together for 6 years, married for 3 years this October. I’ve always known he was the one since our second “date”, which involves him taking care of me after I had spinal injections. Literally 1 week into dating he volunteered to come to my parents house; where I was staying then, to take care of me. Awwwwww. Maybe not so odd since on our first date we found out we had grown in the same neighborhood, he was friends with my two older brothers and his mom knew my mom.

Then things get really good, or you just go through the every day motions. For me it was not having the everyday pain. We could actually have sex like real fucking married people do! We could go to the movies and not worry about the chairs and how long I could handle sitting down with my back. He could grab and hug me any way he wanted without me crying in pain.

During those amazing times I kinda forgot about all the hard times he has stood beside me for, all the times that any sane man would have turned and ran the other direction, but he stayed.

I called my husband at 5 thing morning, crying in pain. I couldn’t get out of bed the pain was so unbearable.

He leaves work to come home to take me to my chiropractor. He helped me get dressed since I could hardly bend or move. He gathered all my things I needed then loaded me into the car. I break down crying, worried my spine is back to square one. Saying “maybe we should stop trying for a baby, my back clearly isn’t okay”

He continuously reassured me that I will be okay, and that for right now we just need to put all our energy into getting my back better, and we will be blessed with a baby in Gods time.

I’m so happy I have someone in my corner no matter what. My husband and I are going to see how my back is over the next 2+ weeks and go from there.

I think this is a blessing! It’s reminded me of a few reasons why I fell in love with my husband in the first place. He is so incredibly intelligent, funny, strong sense of self, romantic, accepting, the list goes on and on. He will make an amazing dad and I cannot wait for him to be the father of our children.

What did I ever do to deserve a man like the one I have? I will never let him go, and I will do everything in my power to be there like he has always been for me.
