Oh, My Hero!

Who's My Hero?
I tell him all the time he’d be a hot, hot mess without me.
I assure him he wouldn’t know where to find his clean
clothes, or know what kind of dressing to put on his salad if I was gone.
But the truth is, I’d be the one lost.
In real life- I can be a backward, awkward,
neurotic coward. I’m the type who’s afraid to go into the basement after dark;
loathes new situations and changes; and has walked out of a store more than
once without working up the gumption to approach the stranger/clerk for help
finding an item I needed.
That’s me- a leave-a-night-light-
blazing sort of gal.
Yet, here I am chasing dreams…taking risks and chances
knowing full well that I can fail. Or be made fun of. Or ripped apart in my
next review. Scary stuff for a quiet coward.
But it’s all right. I do have a spine. He’s the guy I’ve
always counted on to have my back. He believes in me when I don’t. He thinks I’m
the best when I feel like I’m the worst. He’s the shoulders I stand on while I
reach for stars.
He’s my husband and my hero. And I am a lucky girl.

Aww, such a sweet post! You guys are adorable together—even more so in person. :D
ReplyDeleteHe is good to have at conventions, Carrie. Excellent book hauler and coffee fetcher.
DeleteGreat post, and lovely photo. Isn't life great when you meet the right guy :-)
ReplyDeleteIt's like night and day Annalisa!
DeleteAwwww that's so sweet. You're both lucky!
ReplyDeleteI agree Stephanie!
DeleteI feel the same way about my wife. I'd be lost without her.
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky folks, Alex!
DeleteGreat post! I feel the same way about my husband. :)
ReplyDeleteAwww...nice that there are so many lucky ones like us!
DeleteLucky indeed to have such a hero watching your back
ReplyDeleteYep, it's such a blessing.
DeleteSo true. Great picture!
ReplyDeleteThanks Mina!
DeleteLove the picture! And I agree, my husband is one of my hero's too! :)
ReplyDeleteThanks! :)
DeleteAw, that's so sweet! And what a lovely couple too.
ReplyDeleteThanks Tonja! :)
DeleteWell that just sort of gave me nice little chills all over. A stand-by-your-gal husband is a precious find.
ReplyDeleteYeah, loyalty can be hard to find.
DeleteThat's so sweet, Elizabeth. I'll bet he'll be chuffed when he reads this. It's good to have someone dependable who pushes us when we're weak. Many thanks for sharing with us!
ReplyDeleteI don't know if he's seen it Joy- we'll see if he's a blog reader ;)
DeleteAgain, a hubby hero for the blogfest. And I picked Abraham Lincoln. GaHHH.
ReplyDelete*cringe*
Abe was a good guy! And I won't tell your hubs you didn't pick him, promise :)
DeleteThat's incredibly sweet, and your husband sounds like an awesome guy. My wife, too, is supportive of my writing dreams, which means a lot to me because so many people don't understand what we go through as writers.
ReplyDeleteThey are special people. I have writer friends who don't get the support and they almost always end up quitting or divorced. Having someone to support your dreams is priceless!
DeleteSo sweet Liz. I knew from the start it was your husband. You have shared him enough for us to know him well. Who doesn't want a living spine? *Grins*
ReplyDeleteYou know me too well!!! It is good to have a living spine. It gives me confidence to know that no matter how bad I screw up, I have someone who thinks I am awesome.
DeleteYay! I always love it when I read about happy, healthy marriages. There's nothing better than being with your bestie all the time, eh?
ReplyDeleteUnleashing the Dreamworld
You got that right, Crystal!
DeleteLOVE this post, Elizabeth! What a cute pic of you and your hubby! I feel the same way about my husband—I'd be lost without him.
ReplyDeleteWe're lucky ladies Kristen!!!
DeleteThat was lovely to read! I might make one myself.
ReplyDeleteAll righty. Best of luck :)
DeleteHi Elizabeth,
ReplyDeleteYes, it really is me. Remember me, Gary? Maybe you might remember Penny the Jack Russell dog and modest internet superstar who is my hero for being a bonding force between my son and I.
I love that the love of your life is your hero. This encourages me for the future. Thank you, dear Elizabeth.
Gary :)
It's GARY!!!! Of course I remember you, even without your internet super star side kick. I've missed you! And yes, you should be encouraged. I think you'd make a lucky lady a great hero.
DeleteThats so sweet. He's a lucky man.
ReplyDeleteI remind him he's lucky at least daily ;)
Delete"He’s my husband and my hero. And I am a lucky girl."
ReplyDeleteAnd he is a lucky man to be married to such a sweet and spirited "leave-a-night-light- blazing sort of gal." (I love that description)
Well... that adds up to a perfect match!
Thank you for participating in the Hero Blogfest!
It was fun Michelle! Glad you ladies thought of it. :)
DeleteSo sweet. :) You look like an awesome couple.
ReplyDeleteNot to brag, but we are ;)
DeleteAw, I love this! Plus you guys look great together :)
ReplyDeleteWe do look pretty good together. He's made prettier by my radiance. hehe
DeleteAwww. What a cute couple!
ReplyDeleteBrownie points for Chad. :)
Some days he needs brownie points. LOL
