The Blue Eyed Bunch

I had the biggest crush on Brian. I had a picture from a singles ward activity that he was in and I kept it tucked under my desktop mat at work. Through out the day I would pull it out, take a quick look at him, and let my heart fill with a wave of excitement. I had never liked anyone like I liked him. The more I got to know him, the more I liked him. I was falling in love.

The day came that he asked me to be his wife. I was sure I could never love more. My heart was full. To the top.

But somehow it happened. My heart continued to fill. Even though I thought there wasn’t room to love him more.

On the day of Isaac’s funeral, a day filled with emotions of grief and anguish, I loved him more than I ever had. He stood strong and told of our love for our son.

Another day, years later, I was working to bring forth another baby. There was Brian, by my side, loving me, tenderly touching and encouraging me. I knew I could never love him more.

And now today, I am sure, I love him so much more than ever! After a challenging week, (to say the least) I woke up to him climbing back in bed in the early morning hours. “What are you doing? Are you okay?” I asked him.

“Yes, I just got Rylan back to sleep and helped Aubryn.”
