I call it.

"True love is true friendship."

So...at dinner last night (my boys took me to the O.G.-yummo) I brought something up to my hubby, a subject about myself that I had been thinking about for a little while- one in which was making me feel kinda strange- I guess you could say. Something emotionally inside of me that is so hard to explain that its not even funny. I had been mulling over whether I wanted to even bring it up or not because of past experiences with people in general, although he isn't just "someone"- (& none of which include him.) During our conversation- as I "pour my heart out"- mubbling, stuttering and rambling on and on to him- he listens without distraction, there is no judgement on his face, no hate in his eyes, nothing that makes me feel like he is one day going to use it against me, turn it into something that it's not, think that I meant it towards him, or to publicly announce it. I felt really safe and secure in that moment, my heart overflowed with sincere joy- and I appreciate that so much, you have no idea...really! A heart is something to not treat or handle without care. He continues to remind me how true and noble someone can really be. He has taught me so much, and I hope that I can one day be the type of person he is.

Being able to talk to someone and REALLY talk to them, to know that they are listening-that they hear and really know what you mean whether they understand it or not, is in part, my definition of a true friend. Someone without judgement, who you trust, who you can be who you really really are- all the way down deep to the core- and they would never ask you to be anyone else, because they love you inspite of who you aren't. When you find that person, why continue to look? why continue to roam around searching for another one? I had to search a long time for him and I cherish him, I am so thankful for him and all that he is.

I believe, and this is just my thoughts- I believe that you only get one, one good one, one that stands out from all the rest. Call it soul mate, call it best friend, call it whatever you may...I call him "my husband." (of course I have other friends- that I love- just in case you were wondering, lol).

Now just a shout out- if that wasn't enough of one, lol...

Thank you, my darling- for everything you are to me, for all the roles you play in my life. For loving me unconditionally, without waiver, more everyday. Thank you for roping the ugly side of me, for supporting me, encouraging me, for always being honest and loyal. Thank you for being so true and rekindling my faith and belief in "knights"- you truly are one. Thank you for trying your best to put yourself in my shoes and to really understand me- and for trying extra hard on the stuff that you don't. You are so much fun, you make life extraordinary. Thank you for being the keeper of my secrets. Thank you for being my best friend in good times and the sucky ones. Thank you for choosing me, I am so glad that you did.

Ya'll cant tell I love and adore my husband can you?!?! No way! :)
