Letter I wrote to Robbie for his birthday

Though we have been through raging waters together, you never let us drown. Your steady hand held my wavering one many times. I never thought we would make it this far. I never thought I would love you this much. Your constant love and support have made the gloomiest day bright again.

You make me feel beautiful when I feel my most unattractive. You are kind, you are faithful, you are strong. You save me. I am so glad you chose me to be your wife. Our beautiful family is the most precious gift from God and I thank Him every day for the blessings He has you given me. You, Jaden, Gage, Kyler and Kason- my very own heart beating outside of my chest. My everything.

Thank you for being who you are. Thank you for loving me at my most unlovable.  Thank you for being a dad for our boys. Thank you for being so consistent, so ever-present, so lasting.

I am lucky I get to be your wife. I always knew it would take a really special person to be with me, and you are that person. You are my rock. I love you more and more every day, since the day we said “I do.”

Love, Ashley Michelle McKinnon

Happy Birthday 2013

 

Ashley Loves Robbie
Est. 2009

'Cause when I'm a bullet shot out of a gun
When I'm a firecracker coming undone
When I'm a fugitive ready to run, all wild-eyed and crazy
No matter where my reckless soul takes me
Baby you save me

I know I don't tell you nearly enough
That I couldn't live one day without your love

When I'm a ship tossed around on the waves
Up on a highwire that's ready to break
When I've had just about all I can take
Baby you, baby you save me
