Balancing Act

My Dear "Friend" Baxter, 

We’ve been married 5 years now. To celebrate our anniversary we went to the theatre and saw Gemma Ward in a play called ‘The ugly One’.

We enjoyed it (but not as much as ‘Waltzing in the Willaura’). We took the train, threw caution to the wind and ate gelati before the show started.

I remember feeling a little off balance. It was just the two of us… your parents had our babes… and It felt strange to be all dressed up and alone with you. But it felt good to have time to remember what our life was like before we invited our precious little ones in to our family.

         

I know that at times I forget to keep the balance between wife and mother steady and find my weight resting heavily on the mother side of the scales!!! You are gracious despite my inability to walk the line well and I’m sorry I do not thank you enough… please do not mistake my shortcoming for a lack of love or appreciation.

So here it is honey…

You are my gravity Kent. You are the glue which binds me to this earth and that holds our family tightly knit together. I know that one day, when we have survived babies and youthful souls and missions and weddings and grand-babies, we will revel in the life we have built… You have given me my children and a partner to experience this journey with. I will happily hold your hand through all of it and when all is said and done I will love you forever… kicking and screaming the whole way along!
... cos that's how I roll!!!

Love for always,
