Tracy Ralston is the love of her husband Kevin’s life for about a million and one reasons. But what really stands out to Kevin is how his wife is a super thoughtful and giving person. She is a nurse, mother, wife and friend who works hard every day and gives so much of herself without asking for anything in return.
“She makes me want to make the right choices by always putting my family ahead of myself,” Kevin said.
They have two children – Kevin and Sage – who Tracy would go to the ends of the earth to protect and hold close to the vest. She loves them both so much, and in many ways she is a mama bear.
Beyond being their protector, Tracy is also her children’s provider and their role model. They both look up to her, and they take after her as well (Kevin with his wits and Sage with her dancing). Everything they both are is because of who their mother is, and Kevin could not be a prouder husband or father.
“I admire the type of mother and nurse she is,” he said. “I admire that she loves me unconditionally. I also admire her beauty and humor.”
Unconditional love is a cornerstone of who Tracy is, and you can see that in any interaction she has with anyone. At work, she is the most loving and nurturing nurse any of her patients could ever ask for. And beyond the confines of the hospital, her nursing instincts are always on full display, as Tracy remains that loving, caring individual no matter what.
As a wife in particular, Tracy is more than meets the eye. Yes, she is Kevin’s eye candy, but she is so much more than that also. She is Kevin’s Steelers- and Orioles-loving, music-listening, boat-riding better half.
Oh yeah, she is also the ideal daughter that her parents are proud to have raised.
“She’s a great daughter because she’s a great person,” Kevin said. “She also loves her parents dearly. She’s the best mother in the world. She spoils them like no other and puts them ahead of all else.”
Tracy took what her parents taught her and ran with it. Now she is the most phenomenal and caring individual in her own right, and anyone who knows her knows she is special.
“She’s a very small woman, yet she has the ability to beat almost anyone in beer chugging,” Kevin said. “She’s also super competitive and takes any competition – regardless of how small it seems – very serious. She’s also very bossy and she’s aware and cannot control it.”
What isn’t this woman capable of? Just when you think you are reaching the pinnacle of her personality, you learn even more amazing things that stand out.
Of course, as it has already been mentioned, Tracy puts herself last in every situation, but even more so, she is the best gift giver with the biggest heart of gold and the most outstanding work ethic.
“She thinks of everyone but herself,” Kevin said. “She’s a very giving person and always puts extra effort into special gifts during the holidays and birthdays. She’s extremely driven at her job, working extra overtime and working while having injuries. She never complains once. She’s also beautiful and has a million-dollar smile. She’s very funny and was the class clown of her high school, Patapsco High 2000.”
Being named class clown actually suits Tracy well in the fact that she loves bringing people joy and laughter. She is a lighthearted individual with a love of life and a free-spirited character.
At the end of the day, she is just one of those people you want in your corner because she is going to take care of you and treat you right.
“I want her to know that I love and appreciate her more than she knows,” Kevin said. “That I admire the mother and hard worker she has become. That I wish I were as good at gift ideas as she is lol.”
With this gift, you definitely have some competition in the gift-giving department, Tracy.
But seriously, your husband and children love you so much and they appreciate all you bring to the table.
