In elementary school, Mrs. Studer embraced my enthusiasm for learning, and has kept in contact with me through the years. My parents have been with me through many odd times in my life: engagements, dating, heart broken, difficulty with school, etc. I have had some close friends as well. However, I believe the one person who has been there the most for me is my husband, Tim.
Let me explain why... When Tim first met me I was a very head strong, no hold back, in your face person, who always wanted things planned out meticulously, and to be my way. Some of these haven't really changed. I was also very unsure of myself. I knew what I wanted, but I wasn't confident in myself or my abilities. I had always believed that showing I was confident in something was sinning. I often belittled myself, and tore myself down for various mistakes that I made. I never felt sure of myself, or that I had much value. I apologized for everything. Something that Tim taught me very early on in my relationship with him, was to not apologize for something that I didn't do wrong. He also let me see that it is okay to be proud of your accomplishments. That God is happy for my accomplishments. Tim has helped build me up as a person. Helped me to understand my self value. I know that Tim will always be there for me, and will always support me. This is true, unconditional love. I honestly know that Tim has made me a better person. And for that, and for numerous other reasons, I will be eternally grateful.
