“The guy that works hard for his family and often puts his needs dead last. The guy that goes to three different grocery stores to try and find his pregnant wife that special macaroni salad she just has to have (or the baby has to have.)”
Marry The Guy That Does All The Things
I Almost Lost My Life To Toxic Shock Syndrome
“I woke up and it all hit me. Flu like symptoms. Fever, chills, vomiting and a rash developed on my left inner thigh. I had just moved back home to my parents a week prior and if it wasn’t for my mom, I would not be here writing this.”
‘This is the first Christmas they will not be home, at least not in their home. They’ll be in their NEW home, which doesn’t feel like home to Dad, and mom know longer knows where home is.’
“As hard as he tries to be happy, all we can feel is his sadness. We will continue to take him shopping – he loves doing anything with us. Mom doesn’t know it’s almost Christmas, so will do our best to get dad through the holidays.”
‘I’m a Christmas Eve baby. My birthday didn’t have the greatest timing in the eyes of others around me.’: Christmas baby argues to celebrate in June instead
“When I met my husband, do you know what he did on that first birthday we spent together? He wrapped my presents in Christmas wrapping paper. He learned pretty quickly to never do that again. No Santas or snowmen, please.”
‘There is NOTHING right about this picture, but EVERYTHING is right about it. Because it’s the only Christmas picture I have.’
“I never understood the value in having them until I couldn’t have them anymore. I thought I had time. But I didn’t.”
‘I had a ton of excuses as to why I couldn’t, but each one was eliminated. I was quickly immersed in the emotional roller coaster ride that is ‘foster care.’: Young woman adopts relative’s premature baby
“A nerve injury in her small intestine has caused quite the turmoil in her little body. Every day she complains that her belly hurts. Every day she retches and throws up. This has become our normal. Foster care is hard. Medical needs are hard. But I’m here to tell you that these kids are worth every single sleepless night.”
I Spent 12 Years With A Man I Never Should Have Married
“Ladies, there are amazing men in this world. Stop putting up with the B.S. and find a partner who loves and respects you.”
‘My daughter was your server. She is a hard working single mom to my grandson. She’s been working 2 jobs to come up with the money to give him Christmas and pay her bills.’
“She tries so hard not rely on anyone else. You guys left there without knowing what an impact this has made on her life. She’s prayed for a blessing like this to come her way.”
‘He guided us through the storm. The water was over the road. I had a sick feeling in my stomach. Stopping would put us in a more dangerous position.’
“It was so bad I could see only his brake lights at one point. We noticed the truck moving over to the left and I asked my husband, ‘Do you think he is pushing the excess water off the road for us?’ The driver of this truck restored my faith.”
Please Stop Telling Me How I Should Celebrate Christmas
“If I want to scurry around every morning, freaking out about forgetting to move the darn elf the night before, and panicking that I’m going to get caught by my 7-year-old while trying to place him in a new spot…that’s my choice. If I want to sing ‘Baby it’s Cold Outside’ while sipping egg nog in front of the fire, next to my handsy husband… don’t be concerned for me.”
