Dear Daniel: Your mom is a blessing to both of us

Dear Daniel,
Today your mom and I are celebrating eight years of marriage. The past eight years haven’t always been the easiest. We’ve had our differences, as all married couples do. But I think our marriage is stronger now than it ever has been, and I’m thankful for that.
In honor of the occasion, I thought I’d tell you a few reasons why your mom is so special:
– She doesn’t complain too strenuously about me watching baseball all the time (she knows she’d be wasting her breath).
– She watches “Lost,” “24” and “Alias” with me, even though she thinks I have a crush on Jennifer Garner.
– She’s doesn’t talk too much and doesn’t nag — usually.
– She’s financially resourceful and always looks for ways to save us money.
– She’s a great interior decorator and I appreciate her efforts at making our home a warm and inviting place.
– She fixes great Mexican food.
– She teaches you to have good manners. You regularly say “thank you” without being prompted, and that’s largely her doing.
– She treats me with respect in public. I’ve been around too many wives who talk down to their husbands around other people, and that’s annoying.
– She loves you just as much as I do, and she has your best interests at heart. She’s willing to stay home with you and sacrifice some of the luxuries of life to make your life better.
Yes, you and I are both blessed by God that your mom is part of our lives. We’re both better people because of it, and I love her very much.
Love always,
Dad
Thanks. I love you.
Happy Anniversary
I noticed that you don’t deny the crush on Jennifer Garner.

Congrats on the 8 years, may God bless you with many more.
Congrats on eight years of marriage. Sounds like the both of you are doing a great job raising a fine young lad!
COngratulations on those 8 years. Daniel looks so big in that picture. If I were Sarah I certainly wouldn’t be letting you watch Jennifer on TV.
Rock on E…Keep those years coming. Praise God He gave you a good woman…and Thank God you know how good she is.
Happy Anniversary
Thanks, all.
