That may seem like a strange title but it’s the only way I could explain this post. I’ve mentioned before how much I want to go to a mom blogger conference and specifically Mom 2.0 Summit in Houston next month. Well, while I was debating, yes – go, no – don’t go, yes – you deserve it, no – we can’t afford it, yes – you will finally get to meet your online friends, and on and on and on, I had a conversation with my hubby.
I told him I was worried about money, worried about being away from the kids even though I’d be home each night. He assured me the kids would be fine and I knew they would be I really did. They would be with daddy and I know in my heart they will be fine, even though I hate to be away from them even during the school day.
Hubby said, “this will be a great opportunity for you.” I asked, “Really? You don’t think it’s just a stupid conference?” I know it’s not but wasn’t quite sure how he was viewing it. His response brought tears to my eyes.
“I know what this means to you. Just because I don’t know anything about it doesn’t mean I don’t realize that you are a Mommy – a proud one, a great one, a caring, loving one. You have been networking with your mommy friends for years and I know how much they have impacted your life. I think you should go and be with them . . . you deserve it honey . . . be a part of it.”
Comments like those and this one, “You need to get out and talk to real people with the same ideals and passions as you” just fill my heart with an overwhelming love and my eyes with tears as I see just how much he loves me. And whether or not he understands the deep bond that mommy bloggers build with online friends we come to cherish, he still supports me. That is one awesome hubby if you ask me and he’s all mine.

Now that is true support. That is the kind of support we all want our husbands to show..
