It's a daily thing beginning with making the coffee in the morning, being attentive, paying attention, listening, doing a lot of the cooking, etc. I've never forgotten or overlooked a special date or event in our lives and most of all, I've been loving and generous to her daughters and her grandchildren -- something the girls' father never was.
A year ago my wife had a horrible fall resulting in a shattered wrist and shoulder as well as breaks in her upper arm. She's now disabled to the extent that she has no range of motion in her arm, thankfully for her, the left one. That means she can't drive, lift much or do most two-handed tasks. She does what she can but it's now severely diminished. All the rest is left up to me now. But that's OK! It also gives real meaning to "for better or worse, in sickness and in health."
All that aside, she's a good woman who loves me, brings out the best in me and lets me be myself. I really couldn't ask for more.

My husband and I work together every day. Last week, I stayed home with our son, because he had a bad cold. I know how focused my husband gets at work and can forget to eat or would rather skip a meal than leave the office.
So I cooked him a hot lunch, prepared a huge thermos of home-brewed coffee, bundled my son in the car and brought it to him at work and then drove right back home. It put a real smile on his face.
In the past, our marriage went through a very difficult time and it seemed that each of us was taking the other for granted. Now, he & I have learned that it's those little unexpected gestures, just because, that are so valuable & appreciated.

Well we are back to playing the distance game for a little bit so I can't really physically do things for my lovely fella BUT I am getting a kick out of him reporting he's found another of stash of Hershey's hugs & kisses I planted around the house before I left, knowing he still hasn't found them all yet.
And today I hunted up a song on youtube and sent to him just because I'm turning into a mushy freak.
Oh and I got a couple of other things on the backburner BUT they're a secret so I can't divulge them here.
Well see now if I did, I'd have to gouge out his eyes and that's not going to happen!
