Love is….

Love is getting over our misunderstandings and talking about the hard stuff.

Love is waking up at 5:30am and trying to be human enough to feed our bright-eyed toddler.

Love is doing your hair even though I’m tried and would rather go to bed early.

Love is waking up next to you and reminding myself how grateful I am to have you in my life.

Love is when you give me the tightest hugs and then jump all over me.

Love is when I take deep breaths when you’re having a melt down and try to stay calm.

Love is knowing you’ll be home when I get back from a long day at work and welcome me with smile.

Love is missing you both so much when I travel that I cry silently on the plane.

Love is cooking our family nutritious meals every night, well most nights.

Love is letting go, compromising and learning to trust that everything eventually will be alright.

Love is my life with you two, and knowing that even when we’re having rough days, I am still so thankful you are my partner and my son.
