Husband Appreciation Day
Real letters from real women showing appreciation to their real husbands / significant others. StepLife isn’t always easy and showing appreciation and love goes a very long way in the relationship bank account. I appreciate the women who shared their letters with me!
Dear Chris,
I appreciate you because you love me and appreciate me even at my worst. The last 2 years has been hard on us with my hysterectomy then being diagnosed with Fibromyalgia and Osteoarthritis. No matter how often you come home to no house work being done and dinner not started, you never complain about it.
I also appreciate your support of my volunteer work at the animal shelter. Even when it takes me away from you on weekends at times, you still support my efforts to make things better for a few dogs and cats.
Mostly, I just appreciate you for who you are and who I am because of your influence and love.
Love,
Melissa
Dear Mickey,
I appreciate you because you teach me and show me things I have never seen before. You expose me to new kinds of music and take me to beautiful places where I have never been. You open my eyes to ways of the world that I didn’t know existed (good and bad). You help me remember those less fortunate and I yearn to make the world a better place for them because of you. Most of all I appreciate you allowing me to be a parent to these beautiful kids. Thank you.
Love,
Justine
Dear Kevin,
Dear Husband, I appreciate you because you are so Christlike. No matter the stress, no matter the false of others you are always looking at the best in life. The heartache you feel from the loss of your son. The heartache you feel as your children’s mother alienates you from your two other children. What a great man you are. Superman of sorts, here on earth to guide our family. You are a great father, dad, husband and friend. Thank you for all that you do!
Love,
Marnie
My Dearest Kevin,
Dear Kevin, I appreciate you because when I’m overwhelmed with my weaknesses and flaws, I turn to you and you love me! You see qualities in me that I’m afraid aren’t there! I never imagined that, in creating a stepfamily, we’d be so misunderstood. Sometimes, we lay together feeling completely discouraged, but keep talking until we feel united and brave again. I have been granted such a sweet gift – a man who is honorable, fierce in his love, and determined to grow. Who naturally creates order out of messes, and is determined to be healthy. I adore you!
Love,
Robin
Dear Husband,
I appreciate you because you work hard to make sure every one of “your girls” is shown love. You cherish us and show how much you adore us by staying in a tough job and working overtime and then coming home to spend every minute with us. You never give up, you never forget us, you always let us know that we are appreciated and thought of. You choose us over everything else. Thank you for being you and loving us so much.
Love,
Ashley
How will you show your appreciation to the man you love today?
