As I headed downstairs to prep dinner this evening, I caught glimpse of this precious sight. Some of you may not know this but Tim struggled massively in his first year of fatherhood. To say we were on the brink of divorce would be an understatement. I'm not going to go into too much detail here (I'm sure some of you would have read all about it) but somehow, we manage to hold tight to each other and overcome one of our biggest obstacles in our relationship. In some parts of the body, the bone grows back STRONGER after being broken. Our relationship HAD to get worse to get better. A great love isn't about confetti hearts and butterflies. It's not about being perfect and having no arguments. A great love is also about OVERCOMING hardship together. Despite loving my son so much, I was also scarred from the past. I remember explaining to Tim that I loved him too much to risk our marriage going into jeopardy again and so, I did not want to risk having another child. Crazy how things can change. Here I am typing this post whilst my husband is putting our 10 month daughter to sleep. We could no be happier with how life turned out. Tim has blossomed so much over the past four years and I could not be more proud of this man. To Isaac, you are the most invincible being on earth and I'm so thankful that you get to be Ayla's first love. We’re so lucky to have you, daddy!
