Today I am celebrating someone that is so very special to me. He has been here for my family, friends, and me for three years now. Always with such a beautiful and brightening smile upon his face. I'm so very thankful that I have been blessed with such a pure and gorgeous soul mate in this life. He has given me so much, in so many different ways. There isn't enough words in this world to describe all that he has done for me. More importantly, what he has done for my heart. Throughout the many times I felt like giving up, he was there to hold my hand and show me the path to walk on when I was lost and in the dark. Since the moment we met, I immediately felt something that I had never felt before. That scared me, in such a beautiful way. We spent time together, quality time. And the more that we did, the more I fell in love with him. He is different, unlike anyone I've ever met before. He never ceases to amaze me. The moment we kissed, it felt like everything you would imagine and want a kiss to feel like. The butterflies burst through my stomach and fluttered around us. There were fireworks and the sunset. I could almost smell the ocean and feel the breeze, the sand between my toes... He held me close, so close that I could feel both our hearts beating. So rapidly. For the first time I felt what true happiness was. I felt intimacy, romance, passion, love. I felt comfort and I knew I would be safe no matter what the situation was. That one single kiss led to a moment in which I had began to dream about night after night. He placed my hand over his heart, and his over mine. He said the words that I wanted to say to him long before this very moment. "I love you." He stayed staring at me while my eyes instantly filled with tears. The happiest tears I had ever felt. He loved me, and I loved him. Throughout the years, I continue to fall deeper in love with him. His scent, his smile, his voice and gosh, his laugh. Everything. When he embraces me I feel everything will be alright. I thought that I couldn't be more blessed. Then, on a wonderfully cold Christmas night, I found out it was true. I was pregnant. I was going to be a mom. I didn't cry or shake at the thought. I looked at myself in the mirror and smiled. I came to the realization that it was okay. I wouldn't just be someone's mom, I would be a part of someone's parents. Jock would be a dad. And a great one. No, far past great, extraordinary! I knew the love and passion he held for me, he would hold for our baby. Our son. I often stay up at night and watch Micah and him sleep. So peacefully. I thank God for them both. And of course our son that is soon to be on his way. I've been blessed with the best dog and best friend, best lover, that I could have ever asked for. And now a family. I love them all with my entire heart. With each breath I make my love grows more and more. Though, our little man hasn't made his big arrival into our world yet. I would like to take this opportunity to celebrate and dedicate this Father's Day (his very first Father's Day) to the love of my life, and father to our furry friend, and our beautiful son. Thank you for everything you've done and everything you continue to do. Jock, we love you with all of our hearts! Then, now, forever and always.
