My Soul Mate

Hello friends! Welcome back to 30 Days of Gratitude. Today I am thankful for my hubby. He is my best friend, my soul mate, and my human diary. I am thankful that he is a man of God. That he loves me. That he never judges me. That he makes me laugh. That he understands me.

I am thankful that I met him. That he is in my life. We have been married for 6 years now and they have been the best 6 years of my life. I never imagined that life would bring me and him together, much less to the other side of the world in Japan. It has been a wild ride.

I'm not sure what I would do or who I would be without him. I can honestly say that he has made me the person I am today. Before him I was quiet and reserved. My social anxiety was still through the roof and trying to fall at sleep at night was rough. He gave me confidence. Before I met him; I had not mourned for those I have lost in my life, but he was my shoulder to lean on. He would just let me cry my eyes out or scream or whatever I needed to do. I am thankful for that.

Through him I was able to break down the barrier that I had built between me and God. I built this barrier because I was numb and I didn't want to feel anything at all. Happiness or sadness. I didn't want anything to trigger me to cry. I knew that if I were to start crying, that I didn't know when I would be able stop. God gave me Kevin to help me with all this. To be my soul mate, to be my counselor, to be my friend, to be my love, to be my protector. Not to mention to give me the change of scenery that I desperately needed.

God gave me exactly what I needed when I needed it. For that I am thankful. I love you Kevin. Thank you for being one of the best things that has ever happened to me. My friends, find someone in your life to be thankful for. Someone that makes you smile. Call them. We don't know how long we have on this earth. Make sure the people you love, knows you love them.
