| Daddy loves his girl:) |
Today belongs to him in every way. We celebrated this
morning with cinnamon buns and chocolate croissants before the kids went off to
school.
I have a feeling this will be one of the most memorable
birthdays my Protector will ever have.
We met almost 20 yrs. ago when he was 34 and I was 22 and
now he is 54…..time passes. So many beautiful things to remember between then
and now. And so many more to come.
Here are 54 things that put a smile on my lips when I think
about my Guy over the years:
1-Him running into the bank when I passed out and saying
“Pookie Bear! Pookie Bear!”
2-Him lying about that the hotel in Quebec got confused
and only had one room on our second date.
3-The toilet in the hotel room on our second dateJ
4-How much he loved his Lockhart house
5-How he stopped smoking overnight for me
6-How he told me on our second date that if we got
married he wanted me to be a stay at home mom. Ya right!!!!
7-How he was never sure he wanted kids but ended up being
the best father alive (as in truly the BEST father alive!!)
8-Him dancing naked in front of windowsJ)
9-Him throwing down maps in frustration in Italy
10-Him saying “ok bonjour” to his Dad on the phone
11-His love of LDF and devotion to our old family cottage
12-The way he loved my white dress on our first date and
told me
13-the way he said he would never marry an “English girl”
14-The gold Acura. God the guy has good taste and class
15-the fact that he was the top notarial student in
Quebec in his graduating year and did not tell me until a few years ago!
16-the fact that he had a successful law practice and still
does as of the age of 20!
17-The fact that he agreed to leave Lockhart and build
our own home with me
18-Crying in empty Lancaster living rooms
19-Remebering the shock, joy, happiness and fear in his
face when I announced I was pregnant with Chase
20-The moment he held our first son. I can remember every
expression, ever word-it counted as one of the best moments of my life
21- His never ending long wedding speech
22-The way he immediately took to being a Dad and mastered
it in what seemed like minutes
23-the way he buried all three umbilical cords at the old
cottage near the old tree
24- The amount of shovelling snow he has done over a
lifetime
25-Boca t-shirts
26 Cheap gray t-shirts
27-Pyjama pants after work
28-The day his second son was born and the expression on
pure love on his face. The second moment I will never forget
29-Boats and tubing around and around and around
30-Chopping wood for fires
31- Always showing a strong interest in my work (even
though he secretly wanted me to be a stay at home mom)
32-All our friends and family knowing that he is the most
superior cook in the world
33-the big decision to move to Trent. Loving it after a
while and now for forever
34-Obsessing about Bibeau Property
35-Obsessing about Vanasse property
36-Obsessing about Cartier property
37-His daughter being born and the look on his face and
the sound of his voice when he called his Dad to tell him he had his little
girl. The third moment of his life I will never ever forget.
38-Sharing our babies together and growing them into who
they are today. Our babies –now teens -being by far the aspect that brings us
the most close together.
39-His decorating style. His office is a palace and he
did it all himself
40-the way he sat night after night in the hospital with
his Dad as he died
41-The way he became the Uncle he was always meant to be
42-The friend he is to all our friends-the way he lets
them in.
43-How he always signs his emails xoxoxoxoxo to my Mom
44-Him wrapping Chase over and over again in the green
blanket like a little sausage
45-Smart property investments
46-Him jogging to the tip of the Turks Island to make a
wish
47-Him obsessing about the kid’s acceptance to schools as
much as me
48-All the homework help over the years
50-who he was-who is at this moment-who he will be
51-His courage
52-Love in Action
53-An example to his children
54-The way he looked at me earlier this week. The way his
arm was strongly around my shoulders. The way he took my hand and held it
tightly. The way he gave me everything he has to give. The way he has made my
heart swell with pride. The man he is-the husband he is and the Father he is.
Love in Action and not only words. Thank you.
Happy Birthday to the best Guy I know. The guy who walks
the talk..sets and example for his children…takes such good care of his
wife…and is always there for us.
Together. Yet separate.
Happy Birthday my Darling.
