My Husband's Old Shoes

My husband's old shoes .. They've walked thousands of steps and countless miles. They've been many places and done many things .. They've been worn to shreds, down to the bare bones .. Down to the souls.

What's in a pair of shoes? .. A person's life story. They say you never know a person until you've walked a mile in their shoes. If I could step into my husband's shoes, I imagine seeing this ..

A loving, strong, wonderful man. An amazing husband and daddy. A man of great integrity, strength and the hardest working person I know. Someone who doesn't give up, give in, or quit. An honest person .. Funny .. Generous .. Humble. A man of great faith.

Someone who ties the laces every morning, rather it be a bad or good day, and kisses his family goodbye. Off to provide .. To do whatever it takes to care for his family.

I wish I could put into words how proud I am to have this man, this wonderful man, as my husband, my best friend, my lover .. The father of my son. But, the words just don't mean enough. 

As the souls of his shoes have worn down, my soul has filled up. He brings me contentment, peace .. A true, never-ending, unconditional love. He loves me in every way .. He is the best daddy.

That's what's in a pair of shoes ..
