Happy Valentines Day

Although my husband may not think that I love him I want to express that I do.
When Jake comes home from a long day at work he is still willing to help me with kids and listen to how hectic my day went. When I fall short by not having the house clean, or dinner ready Jake is ready to finish the dishes and order a pizza. When I am at my breaking point and just need a moment of silence Jake is willing to take the kids out so that I can catch my breathe. When I think money is tight Jake is willing to work overtime so that I am able to stay home a little longer with our boys Carter and Ethan. When I feel that we are sinking Jake throws out the life preserver. And when I am sick he brings me all the little things that help ease my pain.
On the other hand
When Jake is sick, I think stop being such a baby. When Jake works over time, I get angry because it may interfere with plans I have made. I am angry when he leaves his clothes all over the bedroom. And when I come home to a messy house I think that he has been watching tv all day. When Jake is ornery I don't think that he should be permitted to be so. And when he wants to go play basketball I ask that he takes the kids with him.
I have allowed some trials that we have gone through, make me bitter. I have become like a porcupine; surrounding my self with intangible needles, making it hard for my own spouse to love me.
Despite my shortcomings Jake puts up with me, and I love him for it. Every once in a while I learn something that allows me to remove one of the porcupine quails. I had no intention of celebrating Valentines, Jake still took the time to think about me days before. He brought me a refreshing bouquet of flowers along with some other goodies. He has not been feeling good, and has had some unfortunate events occur this past month, yet he still has me on the for front of his mind.
Thank you babe, I love you!
