How do I love thee, let me count the ways...

I love you enough to drag myself out of my warm cozy bundle of blankets at 3 am when the temp outside is -15 actual temps in order to make sure none of you are shivering and to give you extra hay to make sure you can generate enough body heat to keep warm.



I love you enough to lay on my stomach in amniotic fluid at midnight with my arm up to my elbow in your backside to turn your kid around and help you get it out.



I love you enough to carry 100 pounds worth of frozen hose in to my house every 5 days to thaw it, then slog through knee deep snow to make sure you have fresh water at all times.



I love you enough hand knit you sweaters so you won't be cold.



I love you enough to rinse out your bucket when you have been sick.



I love you enough to find that gap in your teeth adorable and still laugh myself silly over the funny faces you make.





I love you enough to say goodbye when you are ready, even when every part of me wants to hang on.





I love you enough to let you be you.
