Dear Dr. Laura,
I wanted to write your listeners especially those single ladies looking for the perfect man. I cannot tell you how important it is to choose wisely when looking for a husband.
Six years ago, I met my husband and from the get go he treated me like a lady: opened doors for me, pumped my gas, cleaned my windshield and made my life just a little easier. We dated for two years and then got married and were ready to start our life together. Of course, like most couples we wanted to start a family after being married for a year. We had struggled to get pregnant, but were blessed to conceive our daughter.
Things were perfect until one fateful day in August of 2012. While heading home from work, an elderly lady driving the wrong way down the highway hit me head on while I was 7 months pregnant with our daughter. We lost our first and only child that day. I do not know how I could have made it through the storm of losing a child and recovering physically from the wreck without my strong and supportive husband.
I tell you ladies, all the Hollywood romance will fade, but to have a man care for you when you can do nothing for yourself physically and emotionally is true everlasting love. After losing our daughter my husband had to stand by my side through a miscarriage and failed IVF. I can truly say he is my best friend and all I hope for is to grow old with him. We have been blessed this year with a miracle baby who we had on March 6th. To see my husband talk with our new baby, I think many of times that I did choose wisely.
I took this picture three days after my wreck just to tell myself that it didn't kill me and I will survive this. My husband thought I was crazy for doing so, but posed with me anyways.
Thank you,
Brooke
