Being married to a wholesome person - proud of the growth
This is long and may end up as a rant of positivity but I am so proud of my little family.
I’ve just returned from taking my husband to the airport for a weeklong business trip; my heart is aching because this is the longest we’ve ever been away from each other and I love him so much, I cannot sleep without him so I know it’ll be a restless week for me, but this isn’t about me. He works in corporate dining and for the last year in his new position, he has absolutely crushed every measurable standard and KPI he’s been given at work. His sales have grown, his customers are happy, his bubbly and “get it done” attitude has set him apart from others and the main reason he’s going on this business adventure is because he is helping another team with their grand opening.
After we kissed and hugged at the airport I shouted across some other families in excitement that I was so proud of him and to just be himself, he would crush it! The man in the car next to me said he loved the appreciation I sent him on his way with.
Prior to this role, he felt so stuck and he has grown so much professionally and even personally in this year and I am beyond happy to be by his side, watching him grow.
Background on us, my husband was not my “type” when we met, I always gravitated toward the bad boys and he was just clean cut and normal, haha. I had terrible dating years and the relationship prior to him was mentally and financially abusive so I wasn’t even ready for him to come in and change my life for the better. I never in a million years could’ve dreamed we’d be here. I tried breaking up with him and he told me, “you can’t not talk to me” and just asked me to trust him that we would work out. I was so hesitant but just went with the flow. More so, when we met over a decade ago, we were both struggling financially. We were easily both in the roughest spot in both our lives. We’ve nearly tripled our income in the last 10 years and we live a rather boring but very happy life. He has become my absolute best friend, it’s like a sleepover that has never ended - we more often than not fall asleep giggling and being silly.
Yesterday, he went above and beyond as a dad, he drove around various cities near us to get our little girl a go kart (an early Christmas gift). There’s no way in hell we would’ve been able to afford such a gift years ago and especially prior to Christmas and he just made her dream come true. Her face just lit up and she hugged him so tight and him hugging her back just made his world light up and I just stood back, silently weeping at how lucky I am to have them both. A bragging point on her, too, we gave it to her early because we got an email from her counselor earlier this week that all of her teachers have recommended her for their gifted program at school. She’s a brilliant and (mostly) well behaved preteen and we’re extremely proud of her.
I say often I do not deserve this man. I told him on the way to the airport he has surpassed my wildest dreams as a husband, father, employee, friend, neighbor, and more. I am so grateful I listened to him so many years ago and while I’m so sad I have to go a week without him home, his sweet smile and kisses, and him lulling me to sleep, I am beyond grateful.
If you believe in it, send my guy some good juju on helping his partner team this week!
TL;DR - somehow I ended up with an amazing husband and his work accomplishments have him on a business trip to help others. I’m going to miss him endlessly until he comes back home.

I posted on our city Facebook group asking for leads to find a therapy dog to visit my dying father. A therapy dog team was there within 4 hours of my post, and I still have several others offering to visit!
