Overreaction

For some reason my husband seems to think that one day he's going to wake up from this "dream" he's been having...the one where we are married with kids....and he's going to be back in the base dorms by himself. Now, I don't know about him, but the last couple years have been very REAL to me. I guess if you can dream through two pregnancies, and two labors that's pretty impressive, right?

Yesterday I noticed something on myself that needs to be looked at by a doctor. This scared the stink right out of my husband! His mind immediately starts showing the worst possible outcomes. He was REALLY UPSET!

I know that his greatest fear is that me, or our sons, will no longer be here. I try not to tell him things that will scare him, but he needs to know when I'm worried about myself too. Balance is sometimes hard.

I am so glad to know that I'm important to him, but sometimes his fear comes out in such a way that he acts mad at me, when I know he's not.

He came home for lunch and we got to talk about it. He finally heard what I was trying to say, and said," I overreacted didn't I?"....I love this man! I know he will let his fear take him for a test drive sometimes, but I'm glad that in the end he can see it for what it is.

I always know he loves me, but sometimes I don't know if I'm cherished....today I know!
