Nov Challenge post 1, My wife

By
Services for Real Estate Pros with Immediate Home Solutions

Today, I just want to take a moment to say how thankful I am for my wife. There is absolutely no way I would be the man I am today without her. She’s been by my side, supporting me, challenging me, and loving me in ways that only she can.

My wife has this incredible tenacity and fire that pushes me to be a better man. She never settles for “good enough” when she knows there’s more potential within me, and even though I don’t always agree or like what I hear, I know it’s what I need to hear. She has a way of seeing the best in me, even when I can’t see it in myself.

Her love isn’t just about comfort or easy days—it’s about making each other stronger, learning together, and sometimes, yes, disagreeing to find the right path forward. She believes in me, probably more than I believe in myself sometimes, and that’s a rare gift. 

So here’s to my wife, my partner, my best friend. I’m grateful for every single moment, lesson, and challenge we’ve faced together. She’s the reason I strive to be a better man every day, and for that, I’ll always be thankful.

Hi Jeffrey,
What a lovely letter of gratitude. I have a magnet on my refrigerator that says:
"Happiness is being married to your best friend."

Although my best friend is gone now, I am so grateful for the time we had together.
