Admiration (Men)

I didn't want it to be said that I did not have any admiration for Men, because I do, just wanted to collect my thoughts about them.  Here they are.

First off would definitely be my Husband ~ Ric:  What can I say, but that he's the love of my life.  We married on a Monday morning at around 10:00 AM, July 21, 1980 by the Justice of the Peace.   It was as a small ceremony, perfect and intimate and we loved it because it was about us.  That's us Simple.  I never really thought about what, where or how our life would be, I just knew it would be.  Our life has been perfect and we wouldn't change a thing.  He's my best friend, and we adore spending time together.  He's an amazing man, great father, wonderful grandfather, true friend and admirable worker.  I love you, always have, always will. You and no other for ever...
*He inspires me to be more affectionate, loving and kind.

My Dad ~ Howard:  My dad was always one of the hardest workers I know and he provided for my brothers and I, such a wonderful life.  Since he worked on the railroad, he was gone a lot, but always managed to spend as much of his free time with us as he could.  Every year we went to Maine/Canada for 2 weeks, to visit our families, cousins, Aunts and Uncles on both sides of the border so to speak.    It was awesome and we loved every minute of it.  Those trips were priceless to us.  Since my Dad was from Canada, he always ice skated and grew up with a hockey stick in his hand.  This carried over to us as kids, as he would take us to the park and we would skate and play hockey with him.  Just to watch him on the ice is amazing, even to this day.  He just glides so smoothly, it's beautiful.  He's my Dad and I am truly lucky to have him in my life.  I love you Dad...
*He inspires me to save my quarters for a rainy day.

My son ~ Nicholas:  Wow, what a great individual he is.  Sometimes I have wondered if he was switched at birth, because he has always been so amazingly intelligent and bright, a true wonder.  He doesn't like to show his soft sides, but strangely enough they are there.   He's extremely patient, while teaching, caring of others and makes them feel good about themselves and their work.  His work ethic is tremendous and will serve him well in his career.  We have been very blessed to have him as our son and smile when he's around.
*He inspires me to try to be more intelligent and open minded.

My Uncle ~ Colby:  He is a great uncle.  When we were little and visiting while on vacation, he would take one of  us on his delivery route with him.  He used to deliver bread for Sun Beam and they had the best chocolate cake donuts with glaze on them.  YUM!  He would always bring some home for us after his route was done.  One time we got to ride in the Potato Blossom festival in his old Model T Car.  It was a classic, just like him.  He has be battling lung cancer and arthritis for some years, so you can imagine the pain he is constantly in, but he still maintains a good attitude.
*He inspires me to fight harder and see the good in all things.

My Grandson ~ Bowyn:  He makes me feel like Peter Pan with all the wonderful adventures we have together.  It's amazing to feel that free spirit. He's a true blessing and I'm so thankful he is in my life.
*He inspires me to be silly and see life through a childs eye.

I love all my Men, God Bless and Thank you for everything you've done for me.
