So I'd like to share a little bit about my hero...when I met him...I thought he was the most handsome thing walking...I might even add...a stud...girls...you can like those body builders...but you ain't seen nothin...til you've seen a good ole country boy with no shirt stackin hay!!!!
As we married...and started life together I got to see what a real hero looks like...someone who fights fair...someone who says he is sorry...someone who has the ability to love a messed up girl!!! Someone who loves Jesus...which is he howcould love the messed up girl!!! Someone, who, as each of our children arrived...loved in a way I didn't understand...a dad who desired to spend time with thier kids...hands on...helping to give bottles...rock in the middle of the night...play with them...read to them...let them tag along as he worked around the yard...and two of ours loved to got to work with him and he never hesitated for that opportunity...and you know as our family got bigger...this hero didn't care ever if we had a house full of kids...I didn't know this kids of hero existed...you know the best part about it...this caused our girls to look for heros for themselved too!!!...and it grew a mini hero in our son...they are different people but Michael has many qualities of his father...his work ethic...his love for his own children...This mom is beyond thankful my kids...and now my grands...can call dad aka poppy their hero!
As time has moved on...I remember one thing as a young wife...wishing my hero was a tad more romantic...well people...2 things...1 heros grow in their abilities too...and he is more romantic...but 2...and this is a biggie...he may not always be the most romantic...this hero knows how to make me feel cherished...and I have learned that is what I needed from my hero more than anything...
So...today on my hero's birthday I want to say I love you...thank you for this life you have made for us...thank you for teaching about and showing me Jesus...thank you for your love and grace you show me daily...thank you for showing all of us how to loved well and cherish others!!!
Love ,
Beth
