I gotta share my dear sweet hubby! On June 21st my mom had been visiting us (she lives an hour away in College Station, TX) for 3 weeks (a long visit by a mother in law for most husbands, I’m sure). That night I had to drive her to the emergency room with acute Pancreatitis. She was in hospital 5 days and it turned out she had a growth on her Pancreas which needed to be removed. It was finally done 2 months later (we had to get an expert and that took time). She was with us, and DH was a doll all around - even after 3 months living together…and we plan to build a larger home and move in together!
I took her home yesterday (9/17) and today I thought he was taking too long to get home, (he said he was stopping at Walmart to deposit his paycheck)…instead…after about a 10-hour work day (hard work), he surprises me by driving alllllllllll the way to College Station and getting her. I just called his cell phone at 9 pm and SHE answered!!!
He’s just the sweetest thing in the world. I can cite many more examples during our nearly 20 years of marriage.
People sometimes still think we are newlyweds. I firmly believe the best marriage is one where each one lives to serve the other…and each one believe he/she got better than they deserve. I certainly did!!!
We have no children, but as Elkanah said to Hanah in the Bible (before she was able to have children - and wanted them very badly)…(1 Samuel 1:8) he is better to me than 10 sons!!! And I love him dearly! I don’t even mind that he hates my knitting!
Thanks all. Oh…neither he nor I are “mushy” kind of people…I’ll take a Dirty Harry movie over a love story ANY day!:woot:
Unfortunately no twin
How’s this for not mushy? [I][B][U]One[/U][/B][/I] of his live Copperhead (I think) captures. He does this just to freak me out…that is, capture venomous snakes live…then he lops their heads off
Sounds just like my DH. I thought my DH was the sweetest one on earth. Your DH is such a sweetheart too.
Lately, I’ve been hearing a lot of my friends complaining about their DHs. I thank God everyday for my DH. He’s the best! We’ve been together for almost 15 years (next month will be our anniversary) and we are in a constant honeymoon.
Hooray! for great husbands!!! :cheering::blooby::woot::woohoo:
Sounds like you got my DH’s twin then We are both very blessed!
One time he surprised me with a German Shepherd puppy…he told me to go get a donut in the car which he had saved for me from work. I opened the car door and there was my pup!!!
General H Norman Schwarzkopf, AKC…“Storm” for short. Here’s his pic autographed by the real General himself (from him and his German Shepherd ‘Orso’:
Well, it hasn’t always been roses. The “d” word often came to my mind…but it was never a way “out” for him.
He’s changed a lot since he dedicated his life to the Lord. We both have. (That’s not going to church, playing religion…but real life-changing Holy Spirit stuff. ;))
I just wanted you to know…there’s ALWAYS room for improvement.
I don’t even mind that he hates my knitting!
for being so thoughtful.
