Dear Jason, You are...

Dear Jason,

One does not expect to find a love letter in a public blog, but I am making an exception.

At the end of my pregnancy with Emerson, I printed all of my "Mommy and Me"blogs and made a book for her, which I keep in "Emerson's box." I plan to do the same for P2, and although, my blogging has been different during my pregnancy with P2 than it was with Emerson, so too am I different, and so too will our new baby be different. One thing I want P2 to know is our love for each other. I believe, my sweet Jason, that the love a husband and wife share spills over into the love you share with your children, and I am thrilled for P2 to understand that you are the best husband and my best friend. Although I thank God for you daily, I don't always tell you, and a recent incident reminded me to never take you for granted. I love you, my sweet, Jason, because...

You are patient.

You are honest.

You are full of light.

You are positive.

You are energetic.

You are careful with your words to me and others.

You are smart.

You are funny.

You are modest.

You are kind.

You are an unconditional lover and friend.

You are the best Daddy.

You are always willing to learn.

You are an expert at letting people be who they are with no judgement.

You are my roof, my walls, and my doors, and yet, you never shut me in or out.

You are my life, and you know me well enough to know that I don't easily give that much credit or control, but with you it's simply second nature because I know the feeling is mutual, and that's why you are the best partner for me.

I love you, my sweet, Jason, and I can't wait to see you be a Daddy again to our second baby.

We are the luckiest couple in so many ways.

Yours, Carol Ann
