That has changed now
Chase decided for the first time ever not wear a cardboard
box over his head for Halloween and will be one of 15 penguins in the graduation
class of 2015. My Uncle and Aunt gave me a bday card with a penguin on it. I
read an article about penguins in a magazine and a sculpture caught my eye of a
peingun at a third world fair.
And I realized why this animal is symbolic to me now.
There is a scene in the movie “March of the Penguins”
that is a tender aha moment for me. Touches me to the core.
There is a part where the mother has to transfer the egg
to the father. It is a crazy process-slippery and dangerous and so many of the
eggs just don’t make the transfer. But once that father has the egg, he really has it. He huddles over it through
a month of freezing winds and storms and everything else Mother Nature can
throw his way.
And I know in remembering that scene? That Empire penguin is human husband. That is
exactly what he did, what he does and what he will always do for us. This is
the hallmark of what has kept me loving him for all of these years.
Yesterday was an anniversary for us. Nine months of
something special. It takes nine months to grow a baby and give birth-nine
months is a long time. And yesterday it came and went –but it made me inspired
to write this blog post.
My Guy, Our Protector He ..is our our Penguin
Thank you. Words could never ever be enough.
