When I met her, she was the force in life that knocked everything off its course. Until that point, I knew what I wanted; I knew where I was headed. When I met her, I realized that all needed to change.
There are so many words that describe who she is to me. Lover. Friend. Companion. Shelter. Gift. I have the privilege of seeing everything that no one else sees, hearing what no one else hears, understanding what no one else understands. And all that is for me and me alone.
But there's one word that causes her to rise higher in the eyes of two little boys: mother.
When they need her, she is there.
When they call for her, she comes running.
When they cry, she holds them.
When they laugh, she laughs with them.
When they are wrong, she corrects them.
Through it all, she prays for them.
She loves them. She guides them. She helps them. She is their sounding board of hope, sympathy and emotion.
Without her, I could not do what I do. She is my wife. She is their mother. She is the source of our strength and courage.
She is the one who brings color to our lives.
Carissa, I love you. Happy Mother's Day!
