a love letter to my husband

An email I wrote to Mike about a week ago.  He's going through a grueling week of work these next four days, and I just want everyone to see the power and strength he has in himself to succeed - for his own personal goals, and his family ambitions.  He supports me in everything I do, and I only ever hope to do the same throughout each day we spend together.  
I love you, Mike. <3


Hey goob -

I just wanted to write and let you know that I am so in love with you.
Sometimes it's hard for me to say goodnight to you when you're not in
the bed, because it feels like goodbye.  I know that's silly - I just
love knowing you're there to keep me warm, safe, and like a wonderful
woman.  You've made me the happiest woman to know I am fulfilling a
life-long dream of pregnancy and bearing our child made from that
love.

The house we live in is so wonderful, and it would not have happened
without your hard work.  The 5 years you're coming up to at GE is
remarkable - in the speed 5 years took to the time you really spend at
the office, which has probably felt more like 6 or 7!  I am so proud
of you, and so glad that you are fulfilling life choices you have set
your mind to as well.  Earning a good job, turning it into a hopeful
career, and becoming the man of the house/husband/father-to-be you
envisioned.

I hope that these next two weeks go well for you at work, with the
workout and getting the project up and running.  Always more to do,
but you take it in stride.  You get onto your work computer at any
time of night and move through what's in front of you.  You still take
the time to get your dessert/ice cream and enjoy the NBA game on,
because you are so good and recognizing the big picture.  You give
yourself the time and energy to be a part of your successes and I look
up to that.  It can be too easy for me to get wrapped up in the little
things that I believe are 'holding me back,' and I just have to
remember to turn to you and breathe in/breathe out.

I am so thankful for you, and I am thankful for the work we put into
our relationship.  It makes it rich, and it makes it ours.  Have a
good day today, you're doing wonderfully in so many things.  Continue
being yourself and all will be well.

See you tonight,
Your adoring friend, wife, and rock,
Carly
