I’m way past due on giving Jonathan lots of public credit and love during this arduous journey. So why not give him some props on his birthday! I mean, it’s the last year of his youth, so we might as well live it up. I’ve claimed it for him as his “Year of Fun”, but for some reason he’s thinking it may be more like his “Year of Fatigue”. 🙂 Let me start by saying that we met when he was 20 and I was 22 years old. He really downplayed the age difference of 22 months and 25 days back then. Now he plays it up – he claims I’m a cougar who robbed the cradle. 🙂 No matter how you want to define the large expanse of age difference, he is definitely the man that was meant to walk this life with me.
He is truly my very best friend, the person who makes me laugh the most (and enjoys my humor as well), the provider for our family, my partner in raising our kids and keeping our home, and most importantly the person who keeps our family on track for our spiritual growth. The Bible tells us that husbands are to love their wives as Jesus loves the church, and Jonathan’s sacrifice for our family is a wonderful taste of the kind of love Jesus has for each of us. Ok, I’m not saying he’s perfect, but he’s pretty darn close and definitely the person I needed to balance me out and journey through this life with. Enough sappiness, but I truly adore him and I am grateful to have him in my life!
Update on my treatment: I’ve tolerated this week’s treatment really well! No liver problems, no drug shortages, no hanging out in hallways with small sodas, and only 10 pounds of fluid weight gain versus 17 pounds from my last visit – oh the things your body goes through. Maybe it’s actually 10 pounds of salad dressing – why they sent me 9 packages of ranch dressing, I do not know. 🙂
Happy Birthday to Jonathan Scheele! I love you more every day! Thanks for loving me young, older, with bountiful hair and as a baldy – you are a wonderful man!
Feel free to comment with birthday wishes – I’ll have him read them!
So thankful for a more ” positive” cycle this time around.
