So the other night, Adam and I finished a movie that came out recently on Amazon Prime called ” A Million Miles Away”. I had been wanting to watch it for some time and finally convinced Adam we should give it a chance. Comically, only 20 minutes in, and our 10:15 pm timer shut the TV off.

I was absolutely in love with the characters and storyline, but my eyes were heavier than ever, and I was exhausted. Though we were completely taken by the story, we made the adult choice and went to bed. It was a school night after all.

The next night, I could not wait to sing our babies goodnight. I love them so much, but I wanted to watch this story. We poured ourselves some hot sake and cuddled up. Little did we know how much better the movie was about to get. The dedication and support from family and community to go after a dream was pulling on our heartstrings left and right.

One of the pieces to the story of this incredible young boy who dreams to be an astronaut who comes from a family of migrant workers that work the fields and live life through incredible tenacity I was absolutely inspired by his wife.

This woman whole heartedly dedicates her life to supporting her husband’s “crazy” dream while raising their children without resentment and impatience. She was willing to put her dreams on hold knowing what this huge dream would take from their entire family. She saw the greatness in her husband and fully supported him through the hard times and lonely times. Through this u conditional love and support her husband found a way to help her open a restaurant and make her dream come true too while he continued to put his heart and soul into NASA.

This amazing woman reminded me of the type of wife I want to be as well! She reminded me of the unrelenting faith I have in Adam and his ability to make his dreams come true. It reminded me that my support and love will bring our family to the life we deserved full circle.

I feel that the last few months I have let financial burdens burden my faith in my husband. I let my wants get in the way of my duty to love and support my life-long partner and best friend as he takes incredible risk to support us and make magic happen.

Both of us admittedly cried so much during the movie inspired and humbled as Jose Hernandez and his wife María fought year after year to get him into the NASA program. He waited 30 years of his life to make this dream happen, and María was fully committed to supporting him the entire time. They had difficulty and loneliness but always live and support.

She supported and loved him through rejection after rection over 2 decades. If all else fails, try again!

I, too, believe in Adam, but I have not shown the patience and support he needs recently. This story reminded me of the reasons I grew to love Adam and chose to build a life with him. It reminded me that we are a team, and dreams will only come true if we let go of our own selfish needs and work together to provide for OUR needs.

If all else fails, I will always support my love, my prince, as he journeys on during this challenging time that can make or break his years of hard work. I fully give in and will do what I can do as his wife and the mother of his babies to see this dream through. It will be difficult. There will be tears but it will be worth it!
