Thankful Thursday.....S

Today more so than other days I am thankful that I have the wonderful S in my life....

The last couple of days have thrown some unexpected spanners in our works with regard to the visa, and having got myself so excited by the petition approval, it seems we are far from out of the woods....

So why does this mean that I am grateful to my wonderful S?

Quite simply because even though he is 6,000 miles away from me, he knows and understands that I am troubled and upset and is there for me. He had a really busy day yesterday, but he made sure he called me and had time to actually talk to me. While I was feeling OMG this is terrible, we might not get the visa, he was talking to people and putting plans into action!

He has this ability to just know what needs to be said - I mean really know, not just that kind of 'there there' rubbish that people do when they feel they should say something.
He talked to me properly and in detail about what had been said to me and really listened to what I said, so when he asked me questions they were valuable ones and not ones that had me pulling my hair out and screaming "didn't you listen to what I said"
He pointed out that the extra stuff we need to do isn't something that is beyond us - OK it's a real pain to have to do, but we will do it, and it will all be good - and if it isn't, so what we'll make new plans!

So today I have woken feeling far more positive than I did last night when I went to bed, and I am feeling even more thankful than usual that I have a man in my life who loves me so completely that it is almost overpowering, and who I love so completely that I could just about burst! I never in a million years thought that I would be part of something quite so wonderful, and I am thankful every day not just today....
