I have a wonderful, amazing, loving hubby who looks out for me and protects me the best he can or sometimes the best I’ll allow (I’m a wee bit stubborn.) But He also understands that sometimes we have to do things that will be hard, or maybe unpleasant, but ultimately for good.
Case and point, December is already a tough month for me Dec 10th marked the 4th year since Mark passed away. That plus all the emotion of family and the stress that can come from the season if you allow (I did this year) makes me on edge all month and the silliest of things push me over. So when one of my best friends called and asked me to stand in for Mark and be a groomsmen on Dec 30th, Mac was wary.
Rightfully so, you never know how I’m going to react to a ‘Mark thing’ sometimes its fine sometimes I have a melt down. He just wanted to protect me. BUT he also understood the importance of this and the significance of it to both B and I. So he supported me, still does. The rehearsal is tonight and I’m a little nervous to be honest, I don’t know many of the people there and the ones I do know are because of Mark. I’m not sure how it will go. But I do know that no matter what Mac will be there to support me, and that means the world to me!
Good for Mac and good for you for accepting his protection 🙂 I think knowing that you have your spouses support (and showing your support in return) is such an important thing in a good relationship. No one wants to marry someone who ridicules and has no faith in what you do or who you are. I know I support Jason in all of his decisions. It’s why we are in Japan right now! I also know that Jason supports me in all of mine. Even if the decision is not the best one, knowing that he has my back and that he won’t kick me when I’m down makes it all better 🙂
