I went to the Women’s Relief Society celebration tonight. I was feeling pretty emotional and fragile. I found myself searching for some refuge and I found it. It was so nice to be surrounded by so many women in many different stages of life who I know love me, support me, and in many ways can teach me how to be a better wife, mother and person. I was asked to give a prayer to open the meeting. After the prayer I felt so strongly that I am bigger, stronger, and more capable than I am on my own because of the support system of the Relief Society sisters. I feel like I flounder so much even with such a great organization to support me. I do not know how other women manage without it!

As soon as Chad walked in the door tonight I fell apart. He listened to me sob about my responsibilities, my weight, my worries, my goals. He encouraged me and complimented me. He listened to me and validated me. He found ways to lighten my load. He took care of me. Then he sent me off to take care of myself.

I often find myself wondering at how I ever made it with out him. He does so much for me and my life is infinitely better and happier with him in it.
