So, here’s the challenge:

For GAME 17, tell us what you like best about your life. It’s late, it’s time to get sappy

Herewith I present “What I like best about my life” by Lisa B. Snarky(pants)

Of all the many, many blessings I have been given in my life, the best one is my husband, Bill (aka Duty). Why, you ask? Well, despite being so very different than me in almost every possible way, he understands what is important to me and supports me with everything he has.

He’s all “Logic Man” and I’m all “Woo-Woo” chick. He’s all about order and discipline (20 years in the military!). I’m into clutter and doing whatever feels good to me at the time.

There’s never been a moment in our six years together that I haven’t felt his love, his committment and his strength. It was particularly evident over the course of Lauren’s diagnosis and progressive illness as I came to realize that our time with her was limited. He held me when I just about collapsed in tears, he made me laugh over stupid stuff (legend of the bitty paw), and he took my hand as we said goodbye to her at the gravesite. Never have I felt more respect for someone and so lucky that this man loved me.

He loves me and supports me with every thing he has and I only hope that I continue to be worthy of that love. So, Roo – this one’s for you. I loves ya!
