MY HUSBAND IS THE BIOLOGICAL DAD OF ALL 5 OF OUR KIDS. I KNOW THAT IS ODD IN THIS DAY AND AGE. HE HAS ALWAYS BEEN THE WIND BENEATH MY WINGS THOUGH, EVEN WILLING TO MOVE FROM TEXAS (WHERE WE DESPERATELY WANT TO MOVE HOME TO) TO (UGH!) MASSACHUSETTS SO I COULD ATTEND MY GRAD PROGRAM. HE MOVED TO ALASKA FOR MY CAREER--ALWAYS PUTTING HIS DREAMS ON HOLD. HES A ROUGH LOOKING MAN WITH A BEARD AND MUSTACHE ALWAYS IN NEED OF A TRIM, AND THOUGH HE WAS SKINNY WHEN I MARRIED HIM, HES A RIGHT JOLLY OLD ELF NOW! BUT IF YOU TAKE THE TIME TO GET TO KNOW HIM, HE WILL TALK YOUR EAR OFF. HES THE BEST COOK IN THE WORLD, AS THE SIZE OF MY REAR WILL ATTEST! HE HAS CHANGED DIAPERS, FOUGHT WITH ALL 5 OF OUR BREAST FED BABIES TO GET THEM TO TAKE A BOTTLE WHEN I WENT BACK TO WORK, HAULED KIDS TO FOOTBALL GAMES AND CHEERLEADING AND A LOT MORE. ONE OF HIS GREATEST COMPLIMENTS CAME FROM OUR YOUNGEST, STARR, WHO WHEN SHE WAS LITTLE, CALLED HIM MOMMY-DADDY. NEVER THINK A MAN CANT BE NURTURING. THE TRICK IS FINDING THE RIGHT MAN. I WAS FORTUNATE AND DID AT AGE 17, NOT BY SIMPLE LUCK, BUT I BELIEVE BY THE HAND OF GOD---46 YEARS AGO! HE IS A GOD-FEARING MAN WHO WILLINGLY GOES TO CHURCH WITH ME EVERY WEEK AND ON HOLY DAYS--WERE CATHOLIC. HE NOW TAKES GOOD CARE OF ME AS I BECOME MORE CRIPPLED WITH ARTHRITIS BY THE DAY. HE ENCOURAGES ME IN MY NEWEST ENDEAVOR--WRITING BOOKS ABOUT MY YEARS OF DELIVERING BABIES AND CARING FOR WOMEN. I STILL LOVE HIM AS MUCH--MAYBE EVEN MORE--THAN WHEN I SAID I DO AS A TEENAGER OF 17 AND BACK WHEN HE WAS A SAILOR OF 20, HEADING TO VIETNAM FOR THE 2ND TIME. FINDING THE RIGHT MAN IS ONE OF GODS GREAT BLESSINGS TO ANY WOMAN--WHETHER ITS HER FIRST , SECOND OR WHATEVER HUSBAND, ITS STILL A GIFT FROM THE LORD THAT MAKES YOUR LIFE COMPLETE--NO MATTER WHAT TROUBLES LIFE HANDS YOU! I STILL LOVE MY HERB.
