My Husband Rocks

Tammy is doing a giveaway, a shirt the publicly declares "My Husband Rocks!" . Union28 makes these really cool shirts - check 'em out.

When two people say "I do" I don't think they fully realize what their vows could mean to their life down the road. Last year we were approaching our ninth anniversary and all of a sudden found out he had cancer. Whoa. "In sickness and in health" took on a whole new meaning. I braced myself for what the next year would hold.

To put it in a few words - my husband rocked throughout the whole ordeal. He put me and our children first. Not once, through a very serious surgery and difficult recovery, radiation and two rounds of chemo, did I hear him complain. Not once. There were no pity parties, no woe is mes. He was a hero through and through. He wanted life to stay as normal as possible for his family and the whole situation to be as stress free as possible for his pregnant wife. (Yes we had a baby in the midst of all of it.)

As I was complaining this week when I had the stomach flu about how awful I felt and having him take care of me I realized that I complained more in those 24 hours than he did in the last year. And really, what is the stomach flu in comparison to cancer?!

So really - MY HUSBAND ROCKS!!
(And it's looking like we'll have many more years of HEALTH together.)

Good luck in the contest.

I'm so thankful for you that your husband is winning his battle with cancer. Sounds like he's one great guy!

In fact, I'd say "he rocks!"

He does indeed rock. I'm so happy for you both that everything has gone so well with his treatment. I think he is absolutely amazing to have gone through everything in the past year and made it seem easy, even though it wasn't. And YOU are amazing too!
