Dec 182009
 

On December 18, 2004, I married the man that you all know as FireDad. I didn’t know, then, that he would become FireDad. I just knew that I was marrying the man I knew as my best friend.

Every Time a Bell Rings

There was no way to predict what the future would hold. We didn’t even know as of our wedding day that we would be trying to conceive in short order due to my health issues and the advisement of one of my doctors. We had no idea that one day shy of eleven months later, we’d be welcoming our first son into our family. Or that two years and one week after that we’d welcome another son into our fold. We never would have wanted to imagine the loss we endured between those two dates. Other dates spring to mind and fall away as I sit in awe of all we have and all we are.

He still makes me laugh.

He still gives me butterflies.

He’s the glue that keeps me together, keeps our family together.

He’s still the man I love.

Happy Anniversary, FireDad. Thank you for the past five years. Here’s to fifty-five more.
