An Amazing Woman

It has been a rough week this week, but probably not for anyone, more than Amy. Here is why:

Around 1:45 am Sunday morning I woke up in bed feeling ill. This was a strange feeling as I rarely feel this way. I knew it was serious if it woke me from sleeping, as it usually takes a truck driving through a nitroglycerin plant, to wake me from a dead sleep. Sitting up in bed must have woke up Amy as she asked if I was OK , and I told her I felt sick. Well another minute or two goes by and I am wondering if I am going to have to make my way to the bathroom or how I was going to go back to sleep feeling like I did. Well to the bathroom I went and there is where I spent the majority of what was left of the night until about 7:00am. Of course I was in no shape for church that morning and I felt especially bad about missing it as it was Easter. Well I saw Amy and Eden off as they went to celebrate Jesus' resurrection. Then, I slept until they came home again. The next couple of days I missed work as the "gut bug" kept me otherwise occupied....;)

Tuesday morning, when Amy and I woke to get Eden up, we realized this "devil" sickness has found it's way to our little girl. As you can imagine, I felt a new sickness in my gut as I realized this was because of me.

Anyway, as the day went on, and I continued to feel better and become functional again, I could see the damage had been done with Amy. I could see her becoming exhausted of all the caring for the sick. I know it was hard on her, because I become kind of a weeny when I get sick and then of course this is the first time Eden has ever been sick like this. We could tell at times that Eden was a little panicked because she didn't know what was going on.....bless her heart.

Today is Saturday and Eden is about 95% better, and we praise God that Amy hasn't gotten sick. We pray still that she won't get sick. This leads to the point of my post, my amazing woman.

Sweetie,
Thanks for taking care of us this week. I know it was hard on you and you did a great job getting us back up to speed. Thank you so much for putting up with me back and forth to the bathroom all night and comforting Eden when she needed someone to snuggle and hold her. I just wanted you to know that I appreciate all that you do for our family and that you have done an amazing job raising our little girl. You are the best wife and mother I could have asked for. It's no wonder God knows what he is doing in orchestrating our lives. I love you.
