Will is such an amazing guy. He keeps his most incredible side hidden to most of the world, but I am lucky enough to witness it. I want to share just a bit of his awesomeness.
I have been praying a lot this past semester for guidance in which way to go with graduate school because this upcoming semester I start my capstone research project which will be the beginning of my honors thesis for the following, and last, year. I have wanted to have some thoughts on how I want to do graduate school so I can know which way I want to focus my research. Anyway, a couple days ago I was looking into graduate schools again and found a field that fits me perfectly. I became so excited and animated. I found the top three programs that appealed to me, and they are clear across the country. Will has been investing a lot of time into his therapy business and is getting ready to finish up his schooling. After his dissertation he would start looking for colleges he could teach at. Yet here has been his response to me.
He said he was so happy to see me so excited, and that those programs fit me better than my original plan. He has spent the last couple days looking into the three different areas I want to go to graduate school, and how to make it work for our family. He's so ready to jump in and move us and everything he's worked for to be able to fulfill my wants and dreams. He even said we could move sooner and he would finish his dissertation wherever I got into school and fly out here when needed so I could get started sooner if I wanted.
This is Will. He is always like this for me, but he is quiet and humble about his awesomeness so no one else would ever know. I love him so much. I'm so grateful for his constant support of me. Of my education and my wants and needs. If I ever say there is something I want to do he will help me find a way to do it. When I started back to school, he supported me and has helped me through it. Last year when I started doing fieldwork research he supported me and took extra time with the kids. This past semester when I was offered a job and wanted to take it but felt guilty for the time away from the kids, he supported me and has helped us find a way for it to work out well for the whole family. I am in awe of his unfailing support of me. Just quietly he does it without blinking an eye. I know he would stand by me always. I'm thankful for him. My marriage to him is the best thing I have.
