When we were going through things in the "keep pile" in the garage on Saturday I found some of my purses and I told him I really was going to keep them for when I get to be "a girl again"...because right now I'm a mommy, which means my purse IS the diaper bag....well this is background for the real point of the story.
Yesterday we were folding clothes, and with recent events taking over my brain, I had a meltdown! My husband is a car guy, and he's also not afraid to tell me when I'm being a grump...WITH LOVE of course! So my husband acted like he was "down-shifting" a car with his hand...which is his way of telling me to please calm down. My husband, somehow, knows what I need more than I do sometimes, so he starts looking all over the house for something. When I asked him what he was looking for he said," I will know when I find it"...not the usual response, but its all I got at that moment. He came back with the keys and handed them to me. He told me to go and do something fun, for me, for a little bit and not to worry about,him and our son. When I protested, he went out into the garage and came back with A PURSE! I started laughing because I knew,he had heard what I said yesterday, and he was telling me to go be "a girl" for a little bit.....he even tried to put things in it, but admitted he had no idea what women "need" in their purses.
I love him!! He's my husband, my friend, my lover, my joker, and sometimes my therapist :-). He loves me any way I am today, tomorrow, and in the future. This is what I pray our sons grow up to be, and they are blessed with a true example of a husband and father! He could've taken my meltdown personally, but he chose to just show me love! He's MY LOVE!
