It only gets better when you're with the one you're meant to be with. I know it just hit me the other day that my husband now knows me better than any one of my closest friends. When you first get together that ofcourse isn't necessarily the case - you fall in love with someone new, but you and your best girlfriends have a history - not that that's important but it was something I thought about. Anyway - we will hit 20 years next month, and I can't believe it -you won't either since time just seems to fly!

You have expressed the exact same way that I feel about my hubby. The part where you mention that he is the father you never knew yourself, well, I feel the same about my hubby too. I don't know who my real dad is because he left when my mom told him she was pregnant. She ended up marrying another guy who was emotionally and sometimes physically abusive. He was extremely jealous and controlling, and my mom eventually divorced him when I was 16. After that, my siblings and I never heard from him again. She eventually remarried, but by that time, I had moved out on my own because I just couldn't stand living at home anymore. I ended up in a bad relationship with a guy 10 years older than me, and eventually had my daughter. He didn't hold her, take care of her, play with her, nothing. She actually screamed her head off if I he was around her. He was never at home, never at work, and would come in at 1, 2, 3, 4 in the morning. He would leave shortly after he was awake, and I was so relieved. He yelled and screamed all the time, and I finally left him. Anyway, fast forward and I met my hubby and he took my daughter and I under his wing. He cherished my little girl (who was only 1 year and 2 months old at the time) and treated her like she was his own. He was, and is, everything that I've always longed for in a father, and I am so incredibly happy that my kids have someone like him in their lives, and that they don't have to grow up the way I did. Sorry for the long post, but it just touched me so :-) I teared up when I read this post! You have expressed the exact same way that I feel about my hubby.
