If someone could please help me? My husband will be adopting my son on March 5th and I have planned a surprise party to congratulate my husband for all he has done for my son. I have invited both my husbands family, my family and our church family. I'm very shy and find words hard to come by. Alot of people are aware of this. I want to thank my husband out loud but don't know what to say. He is a blessing to me and my son. I just don't know how to put it into words. many people just tell me say what you feel. I feel it but I just can't say it. If there is someone there who could help me please do!

Thank you so much in advance,
Andrea

Maybe you could start out with what you have said to us.... that he is a blessing to both you and your son and how thankful you are for all that he has done for both of you.

I have a hard time speaking as well, and I find that I do better if I start by writing down what I want to say, as if I'm writing a letter to that person. It can help you get out what you want to say, and if you find that you can't possibly say everything that you want to say, you can always give him the letter and it will most likely be a treasured keepsake for him.

Good luck!

Maybe doing what the previous post suggested. Congratulations by the way! When we found out I had ovarian cancer my husband also has the same problem you have. He couldnt figure out what to say to me in reference to how I had changed his life so much. My mother suggested practicing in the mirror to him. Then write what he told me in the mirror. the funny part was he would go in to take a shower and I would hear him talking, thinking he was talking to me. For a week I did this to him. Finally he got it all done and I have to tell you, whatever you say will come from your heart. He will know that. And putting it in words in a letter to him would be something that he would never ever forget. I am sure whatever you say to him--there isnt going to be a dry eye. God bless your family.
