Happy As A Lark...
There was something different about him yesterday. He walked a little taller, with his chest stuck out a little more than usual. His stride was proud, with a taste of happiness. He just kept looking at me and smiling. What was he up to?
What could it be that had him so happy? Everything around me seemed normal, so why was he so happy all of a sudden? He came in, turned on some music, and he started dinner while I helped my daughter with her homework ( and it was my night to cook).
After dinner, we all watched a movie, and my daughter was off to bed. Then he did the dishes ( I am still in awe), and ran a bubble bath for the two of us. After our bath we talked, and kissed, and cuddled...but no sex. It would have spoiled the moment. We just enjoyed each other.
I had to ask him why he was so happy. He said, "I am the luckiest man alive...I have my health and strength...I am able to provide and take care of myself and my soon to be family...I have a little girl in my life that thinks the world of me...I have a woman that loves me more than life itself...and I have family and friends...What more can a man ask for?"
You know I can never just let things be, so I had to dig deeper. I said, "But you have had that for a while, why this, why now?"
He told me that one of his colleges was going through some bad times. His wife had left him for another man and took everything, and he had been talking to a couple of guys in the office about the whole ordeal. He said he had even attempted suicide, but decided against it. He said that talking to that guy made him realize just how good he has it... and he never wants to lose it...so he'll do all he can to keep it.
We enjoyed each other for the rest of the night. He sang me to sleep...He sang our song until he could sing no more. I fell asleep with him holding me, and woke up with his arms around me. It was a wonderful feeling...
It's the little things that make me happy...That keeps us close...That makes me love him so much...I love the quiet moments when we are lost in each other...
Isn't it great when they remember the little things that made you fall in love in the first place?
Don't you just love the times when they do all they can to make you smile?

Thank you for sharing. I have not had this kind of love, but I know it is in the cards for me. Everytime I read one of my fave blogs, you all remind me to keep the faith and to keep my head up.

I don't think I've experienced that type of relationship yet. Hopefully, one day I will.
