What Makes Me Fly (Pic of the Week)

Posted in Family, Fun, Kids, Pic of the Week on Jun 12th, 2008

Benjamin and Shannon splash it up. Click for a much better look.

Although I enjoyed all the father/son time Benjamin and I spent last week while I was off work, the time we spent as a family topped my list.

They often get buried under her depression, but my wife’s sense of humor and love for life can’t be stopped. More and more lately, she’s winning small battles in her interminable internal war. When those victories combine with Benjamin’s unflinching zeal, I feel like I’m flying.

No Father’s Day gift could top that.

    What a wonderful sentiment to your wife. I need to meet her one day… she sounds great! I love the small battles I get through day by day…they make life so much sweeter.

    Great pic!

    *S* Beautiful post… You’re both lucky people to have each other, and Ben.

    Now… when are you giving Ben a sibling? *LOL*

    Have a great weekend!

    Wow - I am certain that I have the most wonderful husband in the world. You always keep on loving me even when I am at my least lovable. I adore you for that.

    Go-go Gadget Family!!

    (I don’t think that really has anything to do with your post, but it was fun for me to type.)

    There’s nothing really better than a smiling, happy wife who’s all wet, eh?

    I agree, Mark! Shan is a wonderful person! I feel blessed to call her my friend.

    Wonderful post, Mark. Moonshot went through her bout with depression after Norah was born. Small battles to victory until she went off her meds completely last week. Just in time for her to hold me together while I freak out about the change of career/home renovations/house hunting/etc, etc. I’m no joy to live with these days and it’s only through the love of my wife and gratuitous hugs from Little Lutine that I’m making it through. Where would we be without them, eh?
