Of all the people in all the world, (at least all the ones that are of my sexual preference) I chose Ben. It was about this time 5 years ago that I made that decision, and I have never regreted it. I am proud of him every day for being the man that he is. Sure he can grate on my nerves when he is sick, or hungry, or even way too playful when I am not at all up for games, but he has always been the right guy for the job when it comes to the big things in our life and marriage.
He has sacrificed a lot of himself to provide for our family and is out there on the gravely frozen streets of Barrow just tryin' to keep us (and the community) safe. It can be pretty difficult and the 12-hour shifts definitely take their toll on him. I am just amazed at how strong and resiliant and determined he is to do the right thing and be the hero.
He is my superman, and I am thrilled that he is my best friend, my adventure buddy and my partner forever! I just wish that everyone could have this kind of superpower in their own relationships. Maybe many do, but with the divorce rate pushing 80%, I tend to think that I am one of the really lucky ones.
Thank you Ben for being the best you and helping me to be the best me. I love you and miss you like crazy when you are away.
