My husband... Caleb James Redelman... also known as C-bass. I do not refer to him as C-bass but that's his nickname among college friends. If you're outrageously curious, ask him how the nickname came to be.
But regardless of his name, he is my husband. He is an amazing gift that the Lord has blessed me with.
What is today? Just your average Wednesday (although today happens to be Ash Wednesday) but apart from that it's a normal day where I'm deciding to write an ode to my husband. It's one more day the Lord has granted me time with him.
