My Husband's Heart

My husband has a good heart. It's not sappy or romantic. It's not full of fear or anxiety.

It's just good.

Many times after we lost Ellie and Kate I wondered if he was angry at me. If somewhere deep in his soul he held me responsible for taking his little girls away from him.

He didn't.

I wish I could say I would've handled the situation the same. That I would've never questioned or wondered if he could've done something different to keep them safe.

Even when his heart was broken it was good.

It is so telling that the person who knows him best feels this way about him. Undoubtedly your husband is amazing.

We had this joke a McD about "a guy named Bob..." He's a great guy, and a regular guy. We love BOTH of you. So happy to be in your lives...
