a thankful moment......

He's kind and caring, and sees humor in most everything. He makes me laugh even when I don't want to.

He is my doctor when I forget to put on my gardening gloves, and a rose or bramble thorn embeds itself below the skin. He pulls out the irritant and cleans the wound to make it better, without my asking.

He is my therapist when I forget my way, and gives me the words that elude my fading memory.

When he is away, he calls to share his day and says I miss you even if the words are not audible.

He is sensitive, realistic and keeps me grounded.

He is the smartest person I know.

He is the one that holds me up when my knees buckle,

and the voice of reason when all else fails.

He is the only person I know who understands the all of me

 and stands by my side, regardless.

He is my spousal unit.

He is the man I love.

He is the Dude.

There is never a day that goes by

that I don’t see and feel his love,

even if he doesn’t think I do.
