Gary,
The only thing I need to say to you, is THANK YOU. Thank you for everything you do. For me and for E. We appreciate every single hour you work, every single meal you cook, every single cuddle and kiss you give us. And every single minute of your time that you give to us.
Some people may wonder why I am writing this letter to you, publicly... This letter will explain to each and every person reading it, why you deserve a public thank you...
When we first met, you knew nothing about me, my daughter, my health or anything else that was happening or had happened in our lives. We talked, and got to know each other a bit more each time, we spent a lot of time together and decided that, yes, we did want a relationship together. You learned more and more about my illness everyday. And more about the situation I was in with E.
Over time, you have learned what my life is like, how having a 1 year old and a hereditary, life long illness affects me day to day. It's hard, so much of a struggle some days that I cannot cope. I am not ashamed to admit that I struggle. But since you came into our lives, you have helped me no end.
You have not only helped me, but you have been the most amazing father figure to E. You have stepped up, when you didn't have to. E has grown to love you like a father. And that's because of the way you treat her. You have not been afraid to show her right from wrong, you have always held her and cuddled her when she is poorly, and most of all, you have treated her as one of your own from day one.
Not many women can say they have found a man that is everything, and when I say everything, I mean, everything. But I can. Gary, You have been my rock, and every day you show me more and more how much we mean to you.
It takes a strong man to love a woman, with multiple health conditions, lots of hospital stays, and a 1 year old, and not moan about it. You, as with everybody else, have your own life to deal with, your own business to run, and yet you have still taken all of this on, you have still decided of your own back to father and love a child that is not yours. You deal with my moaning, and moodiness when I am ill, and you probably get annoyed (I'm sorry...) but you just get on with it.
And for all of that, I thank you from the bottom of my heart. Thank you for choosing to loves us. You mean the world to me, and most importantly, you mean the world to your daughter. We love you more than words can describe and we will never stop.
Lots of Love baby, from K, and from your beautiful baby girl xxxx
If you have a partner that has been as amazing as mine has, let me know in the comments, I want to hear lots of positive stories about relationships, and how well your partners have dealt with you having an illness, or how they have coped with taking on your children!!
Love Kš
