In continuing my journey into a long-term gratitude practice, the next person to whom I would like to express the utmost thanks is my husband. A wonderful, caring man with a pun-based, sometimes irreverent sense of humor to match my own, he is the husband I had always hoped for and dreamed of.
I think the best way to thank him would to list the things I appreciate the most, though I am certain that list would be far from fully complete.
To my dear husband, thank you so much for:
- being a true partner in everything, from baby care to bill paying to cooking and housework. Rather than 'helping around the house', you see us as a team, and demonstrate that every day through your actions.
- taking such good care of me and baby postpartum. You waited on us hand and foot, and never complained once about how exhausted you were. I am certain that my speedy healing and recovery was because of you.
- listening to my new motherhood woes, and for your empathy and understanding when things get tough.
- calling me every day to ask how things are going.
- giving me such a beautiful, smart, and sweet little daughter.
- being such an amazing, loving father.
- always wanting me to reach my full potential, and being flexible enough so we can work together to bring my career goals within reach.
- coming from such a kind, wonderful, accepting family.
- the cultural richness and fascinating new worlds you have shown me.
- exposing me to different types of music and movies.
- valuing my opinions and showing such respect for my mind and intellect.
- talking to me about your research and things that interest you.
- having your own style of romance- I know that every hug, kiss, and sweet gesture is unique to you and from the heart.
- making me laugh so much, no matter what is going on in our lives.
- being you.
From the bottom of my heart, thank you Vinay, I love you so much!
