When I met Curtis he was very much single and enjoying his single life. He had a decent number of girls who adored him and would have married him in a heartbeat if he had only asked. I on the other hand was barely single after a heart breaking divorce and thought very little of myself after my confidence had been completely shattered. There were a few guys who seemed to have taken interest in me following my divorce but none of them seemed capable of loving me the way I wanted to be loved. When I was first introduced to Curtis I thought to myself, "this guy will be a good friend to have". But as I got to know him I realized he and I had very similar views on what a relationship should be like and what it would feel like to be truly loved. Why Curtis chose to marry me... I'm not sure I will truly ever understand that answer but he did and I am thankful for that every day if not every minute of my life.
Curtis can do anything he wants to do. He is a very capable man. So when he chose to be a father and husband he took the role on seriously.
I have watched Curtis as he has tried so hard to be the man he knows he should be. I have watched him become a father to two kids that needed him as much as I needed him. I watched him give up a lot of his play time so that he could be home to help raise them. I saw him take total and complete legal and emotional responsibility for Sage and Ashton when he did not have to. I mean lets think about the life change here... single with very little responsibility to married with two kids and soon to be one on the way. That is a hard step to make and he has made it with little complaint.
Curtis loves me with all that he has. He tries hard to put me first before other things. He tries so hard to make me happy. He loves his kids too. He is a strict father and the kids get away with very little, but you can tell he loves them and you can tell that he has made a positive impact on the kids lives. He may not be down on the ground playing with the kids but he is there for them and will never let them down as long as he is living. He is a father that a child can depend on to always protect and provide. For this reason our children respect Curtis and love him dearly.
Curtis is a softy inside. This may be a secret that I am not to reveal but its true. He can be very sympathetic, romantic, and yes, even silly. He really is a sweet man despite the fact he comes off a little hard sometimes.
I am thankful for my husband. I am thankful for the fact that he chose to love me when to some I was unlovable. I am thankful that he loves me even when I am having a bad day and get a little snippidy... (Is that a word?). I am thankful for the fact that I know he will always love me and the kids and would never push us away. I am Thankful for My Curtis. Curtis I love you.
Being the best dad he can be!
Curtis being Cuddly
