Valentine's Day

Earlier in the week on Facebook I saw someone do a post about the upcoming Valentine's Day. You were supposed put a photo of you and your significant other and tell how many years the two of you have been together. Because of Congenital Heart Defect Awareness Week (February 7-14) I left the Heart Tree up.

Also throughout this week I was urged to not only talk about my heart child but my other children. But what I haven't done is tell you about the glue that holds this family together no matter what, Phil. Whenever we are knocked down and faced with a new task, Phil wants to know what are we going to do about it, not mope about it. He always reminds me not to waste my energy getting upset but work on a solution.

February 14, 1998 was the day he proposed and my world hasn't been the same since. We have been together for 14 years and this year we will be married for 12 years.

We have experienced huge highs (the first time I told him he would be a dad) and astronomical lows (the day before Madelynn's surgery) but we have always done it together. Thank you for never getting off the ride and some days adding a few loop to loops just for fun.

Happy Valentine's Day Pilbert!!!

TTFN~
