D is for Daddy

This has been a rough couple of weeks for the Eggelings. Yet I wanted to come here and pay tribute to the love of my life. Saturday morning Dan and I went to the emergancy room, which was followed up quickly by surgery. He was in the hospital the previous week with perforated diverticulitis, was released 4 days later after responding well to antibotics and feeling 100% better. However saturday he felt not so good, so back we went, where he had to have part of his colon removed.

Its very hard to see the one you love in so much pain. I am very thankful that he is doing well, on a speedy road to recovery. Each day he looks and feels a lot better. I just wanted to post something about my husband, to let him know how much he means to me, and how much I love him.

There is something special about Dan and looking into his eyes. I find the same to be true with his son. I can see him differently and its almost magical. I think that the first time I saw him, his eyes are what I feel in love with first.

I am so grateful that my path crossed with Dan's. There are so many little things that could have happened to prevent us from ever meeting in the first place, but I truly feel that we were destined to be together. That this was part of a greater plan. Dan and I met online playing a video game. I feel in love with his charming personality and quick wit, long before I ever was face to face with him.

After knowing each other for a little shy of one year online, Dan made the brave step to move across states from Omaha Nebraska (go big red!) to Hillsboro Oregon. He is one of the funniest people I have ever met, he is so kind, so caring and so smart. He has taught be many life lessons, and even though he probably doesn't think I always listen to his lessons, somewhere in my heart I am always taking notes.

He is someone I can be proud of, he is a wonderful husband, father, partner, soul mate and I look forward to spending the rest of this life and the next with him by my side. I love you Dan, more than you will ever know. I could go on and on about my love for you Dan, but this is a blog, not a novel, just know that I am here for you until the end of time, and just know that you are the answer to all my prayers and dreams. Get well soon ! Your wife misses your sweet face at home.
