Maybe it's a case of absence makes the heart grow fonder. Hot Toddy's new schedule has him doing ten hour days every other week. Or maybe it's because he's been working overtime on his weeks off to provide for our family. Or maybe it's because he not only agreed to keep the kitten, but has fallen in love with her. Or maybe it's because he read this piece by Jenny Rough the other day and was very moved. Or maybe it's because I caught him viewing that Black Eyed Peas Obama video again, with an insp
ired and hopeful look on his face. Or maybe it's because he's taking our little boy to a Cleveland Indians game tomorrow. Or maybe it's because he leaves me love notes (on the computer screen where I'll never miss them) if he has to leave before we all wake up. Or maybe it's because he's good smelling. Or maybe it's because he has never, ever wavered in his conviction that Riley is on this earth to do amazing things. Or maybe it's because he has never, not once, in 12 years of knowing him, put me down. Or maybe it's because he always picks up the Thai food. I could go on and on. There are so many reasons to appreciate Todd. Some I can't write, or speak or barely whisper.Thank You.

Oh crap, I love him too.
hell, i think we all love him now!
Just wait until he hears what you plan to do with k stag's fancy swimsuit...
Love his nickname, too, btw.
Quite a hubby tribute. He sounds almost too good to be true. Todd, please desist from all these activities. You'll only make the rest of us look bad by comparison.
This gave me goose bumps!
I held it together until that last line, then all hell broke loose...
Todd is now a candidate for a quadrillion-some..... We all want HT.
Oh, if I can be terribly catty for a moment... I read a blog last week where everyone was fawning over a woman's husband because she posted about the BMW he'd just purchased for her. THAT made him perfect. And it made me a little sick...
: )
Well that woman would NOT like HT.
Last car he "bought" me was a 2000Buick. We're still driving the thing; that's after blasting through a deer with it in 2002.
Entrails are hot.... (Insert Butthead laugh here.)
He's a keeper.
I'm with kstag: entrails are hot, and so is HT.
I love that man (from afar and in a completely gender-neutral way, of course) for every reason you listed plus this: he gives me hope. Loving, faithful men do exist.
(sigh)
He has really screwed it up for the rest of the male population.
He's thrown the curve.
Hell, he makes ME want to be a better man!
LOL on Drama Mama's comment, and I second that, he makes ME want to be a better man, too!
Ditto on what Jerri said...
(very deep sigh)
You two rock. I love that Riley and Seth have parents who are true partners.
