No One Else

Dear Curt,

From walking on the beach holding hands at 16 to sleeping in separate beds at 46, there is no one else I would want beside me. You inspire me day by day, hour by hour to be the best that I can be. You are the perfect partner to raise children with. You are strong physically, mentally and emotionally. I have always admired your common sense and your ability to help educate people with ordinary problems.

No one else smiles like you do. I have always known without a doubt you love me through and through. I can feel your admiration and respect and therefore I have never needed gifts or tokens of your love. It has always been apparent.  You have continuously made me feel important, intelligent and beautiful....at all times! You have stood beside me through health issues, friend predicaments, work problems and parenting decisions.

Together we have raised wonderful children. They are considerate, courteous, full of common sense and fun! They have your beauty both inside and out. I will see you through them for the rest of my life. Thank you for the most wonderful gift of all....our children.

Words cannot express the deepness of the love I have for you. You are a part of my soul. You are a part of me. You are my world. 

Love,
Cindy

Corbin has always looked forward to his end of summer Birthday Bash.  Year after year we have had parties with water toys, swimming, slides, Chick-Fil-A, and kids galore. The party begins around noon and ends late in the evening with older kids and our friends joining in on the festivities. This year, Corbin said he didn’t want to have a birthday party. He said he thought Daddy was going to die on his birthday and he didn’t want to have to pretend to be happy at his party. We convinced him that everything would work out and to go ahead with the party. On the morning of his birthday, Corbin woke Curt with a big hug and said, “Yay Daddy, you made it to my birthday.” That night I thanked Curt for hanging in there through the chaotic birthday weekend and for helping me raise 3 wonderful teenagers!

 

Happy 13th Birthday Corbin!
