The Thursday morning that Blake turned 41 was a typical busy morning in the Brown household and I will always remember it as the day that my husband showed me such grace. I went to bed that night thinking how lucky I am to have him as my partner in life. We all woke up and all got ready for a typical eventful day. Conversations were probably geared around our afternoon with Addison's UIL, Delaney's Girl Scout meeting, Carter's soccer practice at 5:30 and Delaney's basketball practice. We said our goodbyes and it wasn't until 8:16AM when Megan Perkins group texted everyone and said Happy Birthday to Blake, that I realized it was his birthday!
The entire day apart while working, I reflected on Blake's love, patience and calmness and above all his grace with me and everyone around him. He never said anything that entire 2 hours we were together as a family on his birthday morning and showed not one ounce of resentment or frustration with me. All day, I wondered how I would have reacted if I had woken up on my birthday and no one in my entire family acknowledged it? What deep and thoughtful moments I had and had tears in my eyes several times, amazed at how awesome Blake is and how much I can learn form him.
So in between UIL, Daisy meetings, soccer and basketball, we some how managed to surprise Blake and have a family celebration dinner together at Eddie V's. I promise this will probably be my most memorable birthday of his.
Cheers to my 41 years old amazing husband!
I love how Meme gave Blake a new back brace for his 41st birthday. For nearly a decade, he has worn a back brace proactively when working around the house and yard.
