Falling in Love all Over Again

I used to think I loved my husband. Good looks, wicked sense of humor, athletic body, and incredibly smart—I thought I loved it all, the whole package. I was wrong.

My feelings for my husband have changed. Since the birth of our first child I've come to realize that I didn't entirely love him before. I only loved part of him, the part that I could see. It was like being 15 and thinking that kissing was the most exciting feeling in the world until you discovered true passion or enjoying the feel of water in the shower until you stood at the edge of the ocean and felt the waves crash around you. Seeing this man I've known for years be a daddy to our little girl, I realize that the big picture is just starting to come into focus and I'm seeing a side of my guy that makes me love and appreciate him even more.
