Love Letter From My Husband
When it comes to getting fit, it’s always important to know you have people who love and support you in your journey. My poor husband has to hear a lot of my rants, but it’s wonderful to know that he sympathizes and is there to support me to matter what.
Dear wife,
I am not the best of men but being with you, having you to look after, to help, to hold and to provide focus in my life makes me try to be. There are times when I feel badly about myself for no other reason than I think I am not the best you should have and I am not able to provide you with everything.
Your support, your love, your way of reacting to life gives me purpose, opens my heart and shows me how much I missed in the years before I found you.
We have come a long way from the early days and we are still on the journey, but even in the worst times we have I can’t conceive of going back to a life without you in it.
I hurt when you hurt; I hurt when you are denied things that come easy to others. I try to help with how you cope with the disappointments of trying to lose weight and feel inadequate because I can’t find ways to help you achieve what you wish for so fervently.
Life with you is a revelation each day, bringing me back into a world i had almost left, showing me how much there is to be found and enjoyed.
I’m not good at expressing my love, so I try to show how I feel by how I act, what i can give and by making as good a life for you as I can. I fail often it seems but I love you and it keeps me trying.
There’s no ‘I’ in Team, nor any ‘you’ but you and I together make a team and we’re getting better at it I think.
All my love,
Mr. JM
