To my wife

I am extremely grateful for my wonderful, beautiful wife Cathy.  She is an amazing mother and wife.  I appreciate all she does for me.  She may not feel like she does a lot, but she does.  She is a wonderful mother to our daughter, staying at home and helping her grow.  That is a HUGE blessing to me, knowing that my daughter is in loving hands.

Cathy also supports me in my efforts to complete school and to support our family.  I work 2 jobs, and often will get called in with one job.  It is normally at inconvenient times, and it is not easy for me to go to work when I have promised to spend time with her.  There should never be a time when I go back on a promise to her.  I have these conflicting choices, where my work needs me to help out, and my desire to be with her.  She doesn't complain when I have chosen to help my work, and I really appreciate it.

She is a wonderful support.  When I have a bad day, I can talk to her, and every time I do I feel so much better.  I know it is not easy for her to have me gone so much, but she understands why and allows it.  I love her, and am so grateful that she is so wonderful.  I hope I can one day be as awesome and amazing as her!
