I love my husband

I love my husband.
He loves God.

I love my husband.
He is my go to person for whining. He's NOT a good listener, mind you. He turns his attention away at the most inappropriate times! He walks away while you are in mid-sentence. Have something urgent to speak your mind on? He might just fall alseep just when you get to the juicy part! In fact, he's the worst person to whine or complain about anything or anyone to! If you expect comfort in your time of need, he'll give you a good nagging so you might actually feel worse than before you confided in him! He doesn't care to know that you need TLC. Uh uh. He'll get what you're trying to say all mixed up and he nags you to knock some sense into you. Actually, I say 'you' when I really mean me and I don't know why I still whine to a man who doesn't want to hear my whining!!! Note all my exclamation marks!!!

I love my husband.
He does for me, things, many other husbands would not. He can whip up a decent fried rice. So decent, the kids think I will never outdo his! He's really good at housework. He mops! He does the laundry! (OK, no one's perfect! The ironing piles up because he and I both dislike ironing, much!) He's always there for me even when it's like he's never there!!!

I love my husband.
He does for the kids, things, many other fathers would not. He drives them around everywhere! He's been their unpaid chauffeur for 2 decades! He loves them and they know it. He loves them and I know it and because he loves our children so much, I love him for it.

I love my husband.
He loves people and you can see it in the way he treats others. He loves without asking much of others. He loves without asking much for himself.

I love my husband.
He may be this, he may be that. He may not be this, he may not be that. But at the end of day, when he climbs into bed, he'll wrap his arms (and legs) tightly around me, snore loudly into my ear and I'll know that he loves me (or maybe I just make a good bolster!!!)!!!

I love my husband
He seems like a toughie but those few vulnerable moments when we are together and he and I connect, I know the man that he really is and I love him.
