My husband has the most amazing eyes!
I'm sure that most wives would stake that claim as their own, but it's true...they are truly incredible. He argues with me that they are plain and boring but he's wrong! He's got surprisingly long eyelashes and whenever he washes his face or takes a shower, little drops of water will gather at the end of his lashes and I can never seem to take my own eyes off of him.
I have never been more in love with my husband than I have during this past two weeks. This is the first time that Steve and I have experienced this kind of loss together and while you always hope for the best, it's often hard to predict how a couple will react under such circumstances. Sometimes, people become so overwhelmed with their own grief that it's hard to remember you are a part of a marriage. People often cope very differently with grief as well and that, in and of itself, can cause unintentional distance. It think that everyone who enters into marriage anticipates that there will be challenges along the way but I’m thankful to say that Steve and I didn’t let this become one of them. We grieved together and we mourned together but we never lost sight of each other even for a moment. We looked back sadly at the path we were once on, we looked around at the changes that were happening and we looked ahead at the future that’s a bit different than what we had hoped for…but we never took our eyes off each other. I’m humbled by the strength and grace of our marriage and for being a part of this joint force that is so much bigger than either of us.
I hope that when we have kids one day...they have his eyes.
