Last night a representative for our personal insurance came over to the house to add me to my husband's existing policy. While we were listening to our rep explain everything I really took at good look at my husband. Perhaps it was the lighting or maybe the color of the sweatshirt he was wearing, I know it's not the pregnancy hormones because I've done this kind of contemplation before, that made me fall in love with my husband all over again. It was like I noticed all the strong facial features I had a crush on years ago. Even the way he made sure to ask all the right financial questions. Since I do not have the attention span or mind for money matters, I'm always impressed when my husband steps up with his knowledge of how to handle a buck or two.
Of course my mind began to wander after that. I really thought about love and why I got married in the first place. As a little girl the idea of marriage and family was reinforced through books, television, and movies. I even knew exactly how I would fall for the perfect man. Did it all happen the way I envisioned? Well, there wasn't a white stead or a castle in the end, but overall I got exactly what I wanted. I have no doubt in my husband's devotion or love for me. That's the feeling that was reiterated last night when I looked at him sitting next to me listening to all the options for what would happen should one of us, God forbid, die sometime soon. By the end of the evening, all I could think was, "Dear God, in your wisdom please don't take my husband first. Or at least, take us at the same time." I believe that's what true love is.
I told you this would be mushy.
Hi! My name is Tami. I was searching blogs for people who read similar books as I do. I really liked your blog (not only for your books). I love the post you wrote about your husband. I have had similar feelings at odd times or when I'm not expecting it. Isn't it amazing! Check out my blog if you have a chance.
