My Wife Is...

MK has battled endometriosis for two years. She has had six surgeries. My Wife is a fighter.

MK has put herself through so many tests, medication changes, procedures, and numerous broken hearts in an attempt to find a way to become pregnant. My Wife is selfless.

MK is a true nurturer and loves to care for others. My Wife is going to be a great mother.

MK has researched every option that is out there to treat endometriosis and infertility. My Wife is smart.

MK has enjoyed watching and being a part of her friends' lives that have either recently had babies or are currently pregnant. My Wife is compassionate.

MK has never given up. My Wife is resilient.

MK has just completed the "ultimate surgery" to hopefully get rid of her disease. My Wife is strong.

MK knows the Lord and accepts His plans for us. My Wife is a believer.

These are but a few of the reasons My Wife is my hero.

About 2 weeks ago, MK was unsure of having this surgery. She would call me daily asking me if I thought she was making the right decision. One day I was bringing her lunch to the office when Martina McBride's song "I'm Gonna Love You Through It" came on the radio. From that moment on, I knew whenever MK had doubts or concerns, my response would be "I gonna love you through it". While the song deals with breast cancer, it just seemed to sort of fit us. Endometriosis has been described "cancer-like" in regards to the way it spreads and the discomfort it causes.

To My Wife: I promise to continue to love and support you. You are my hero and I'm gonna love you through it.

  4. Whew, that one made me cry!!! I'm keeping y'all in my prayers. I know God has an even bigger plan than y'all can imagine, and His plan is always better than even our ultimate dreams. Your wife is all those things you mentioned, and she is lucky to have a husband who completely supports her!
