I have a wonderful wife. To try to list all of her attributes that I adore, admire, and love, it would take more time than I have available to me right now.

Before I get into what it is about my wife that I believe has helped us get to our 5 year mark, thanks are in order.

I have been blessed. Thank you Jesus for seeing fit to bless me with Naomi. Thank You for guiding us through our 5+ years together. Thank You for the gift of children 2 1/9 times. All the glory for these earthly treasures, is truly Yours.

There are many things about "me" that may be hard to live with. I am not an ideal husband and I am far from being who I aspire to be. Realizing only a few of my faults, there are many that I'm sure actually exist, I require patience. Naomi, thank you for seeing past my inadequacies; for being so patient with me; for encouraging, reassuring, calming, and standing by me. Thank you for loving me so selflessly.

Thank you for turning to God to help you be my wife.
Naomi, I love you my dear wife.


Today Naomi and I were thinking of Abby, Ben, and Elijah James Chapeau. Though we never met you Elijah, joy enters our hearts knowing that God has always known you.
