You Can't Keep a Good Man Down


You can't keep a good man down.......what a profound quote. I don't know who the author is of it but I am sure they must have experienced some pretty tough situations in life. I think of this quote often when it comes to my Husband. No matter what curve balls life throws at him....he keeps pressing on and doesn't allow life to drag him down to the depths of despair. He maintains a certain calm in the midst of the storm that will never cease to amaze me.


What kind of a man would watch 7 children for the weekend just so his wife could enjoy the weekend away with her sisters and Mother? What kind of a man would become Molly Maid when his wife is quite sick, making sure homework gets done and the kids are fed. What kind of a man hits rock bottom at times only to keep pressing on and never giving up on God or his family? That kind of man is My Husband, my mentor, my lover and my best friend. Some people would think he was a sucker for punishment but we see him as a man of valor, integrity and a fine example for his sons to follow.


I adore my husband and I am very proud of him. I am so thankful that God has brought him into my life 16 years ago.
On a more personal note, Conrad.....I want you to know that we appreciate EVERYTHING you do for us. I know this isn't father's day but your special to us everyday! I just wanted to take a moment online to let you know just how important you are to us and how thankful we are for the sacrifices you make for us. Your a good man and we LOVE you!
