Brian & Trula

Krohn Conservatory

We went to Cincinnati to visit my folks this past Christmas. While we were in town we visited Krohn Conservatory. This is a wonderful place that I have fond memories of visiting as a child. It had a huge influence on me, and is a big part of why I like plants so much.

Through Thick & Thin

Trula — Sat, 05 Dec 2009 17:02:30 +0000

We have had a really rough year. Not so much our marriage, but by things that happened to us, including a miscarriage I suffered in September, a mental breakdown I had earlier in the year, the flu that we both had and also the kids got, and most recently our son Todd was hospitalized for a sudden lump that appeared in his neck that turned out to be an infected lymph node. Through all this I have been struck by my husband’s strength and resilience. He has been my rock, ever steady and strong. Even when he himself was sick with the flu, he was focused on making sure everyone else was ok. When Todd was in the hospital he took off work multiple days to stay with him, and helped calm me down from getting hysterical and distraught that my baby had to go to the hospital.

He has been very patient and kind about my mental health issues, and throughout the nightmare of my miscarriage he did everything he could to console and comfort me. He listened to me pour out my heart and soul about what I was feeling; my grief and despair. I do not know how or why I have been given the gift of this man, but I am thankful. Brian’s empathy and compassion has been a balm and solace to me this year.

We started out friends, and it is great to know he is still a friend to my heart. Brian deeply loves me, and I carry his love with me where ever I go. I love him so.

Accepting My Husband As He Is

It is a waste of time trying to change a man’s character. You have to accept your husband as he is.
Queen Elizabeth II

One of the greatest gifts my husband gave to me was acceptance. From the start, he accepted me for me, flaws and all. and I him, from the start I’ve thought he was fine just the way he was. The older I get and the longer we’ve been married and I see how with many other married couples, there is this long-standing struggle to change their spouse. It makes me wonder, why did they marry in the first place. Sure, there are some things about Brian that are not perfect, but overall he is perfect for me. Not only do I love him deeply, I like him a great deal and wouldn’t change a thing about him. I accept him as he is.

White Flag by Dido

I love this song so much, it reminds me of when Brian and I almost split up and how we both felt, in turn, about staying together. Our relationship has not always been easy and when we were younger we had years it was quite tumultuous and almost split up in 2002. I’m so glad we stuck it out and worked through our problems.
