Two Hearts Beat as One!
(Ephesians, Chapter 5: Verse 31)
... man will leave his father and mother and be united to his wife, and the two will become one flesh.
This has been my most difficult blog posting to date because words can not fully describe my feelings. The above passage of scripture describes Meredith and myself ... But it wasn't until last week that it truly hit home for me. I guess I always thought of myself as one who is able to function on my own. I love Meredith and know that she is my one true love and that I want more than anything to spend the rest of my life with her.
Last week I realized just how much she has become part of me. She was only gone for 8 days but it was the longest we have ever been apart. Whenever we are apart I always miss her but can function until she gets back. Last week I was doing alright until about day three leading into day four and it hit me ... just how much I was missing her ... and it wasn't because I was doing the single parent thing. It's kind of funny, but it made me thing of the movie Good Will Hunting when Robin Williams is describing how he misses his wife who had passed away and I think he hits the nail right on the head. You miss the normal everyday things like having coffee, talks in the car on the way to and from work, lunch, watching a show together etc., you know the normal everyday things ... but it's more than that ... I noticed myself missing the little things that she does throughout the day that make me smile. Things that she may not even know she does. Things that I have taken for granted and didn't even realize it. You know, the things that only you notice. The things that truly connect you at the heart. I never noticed just how much of our lives and love I have taken for granted. Last week I realized that I am not just growing in my faith for God but I am also growing more and more united at the heart with my one true love each and everyday.
Meredith, I know you won't believe it, but I have been working on this post for almost a week wanting to get the words as close as possible to describing how I feel ... but I guess the best ones are these .... I miss you when you are not with me and I love you more than you could ever imagine. You're the best thing that has ever happened to me and it brings a smile to my face knowing that we are going to grow old together! I Love Ya Babe!!!

Right back at ya....
p.s. do I have to pay you later for this?
Yes, it was nice to see you so much last week at the church, but you were starting to look like a lost puppy. We're pretty lucky, aren't we, to be blessed by our wonderful wives. Never take that for granted.
You have no idea how much I relate to this post. The accident was quite a time for "Mr. Lucky" (see comment above) and I to think about all these things. Your blog made me cry.
Awesome post, really nice.
that was an awesome post. I really love hearing about other couples, and seeing that they are still in love. I waited my whole life for a husband, and am so thankful to God that he has given me David. It gives me hope when I see couples who are still in love after marriage. I just pray that me and David can become united and grow closer and closer as the years move on. Closer to each other, and closer to Christ.
