Appreciating Hubby

All too often I think we as wives, girlfriends, signifiant others tend to forget how sweet and loving the other half can be. I think I am the number one offender of forgetting to show my hubby appreciation for all he does for me.

Today he made sure he had off work the entire day, I was having a laproscopic tubal ligation done. He sat in the waiting room when they called me back to prep me for surgery, when the nurse realized he was out there she went out and brought him back for me (I was there for maybe 2 minutes), she had a great personality and everything so that made the prep go better. Once he was in the curtain room with me she said he was "trained well" because he was carrying my Coach purse upright and carefully so he didn't disturb the contents. He sat with me until it was my turn for surgery then he walked back to the OR main doors and kissed me, wished me luck and waited until he couldn't see my bed before he walked away to put my purse in the car. The nurse commented on how nice it was to see a younger couple so in love and so apprecaitive of each other.

Once I was in the OR my OB-Gyn helped get me settled in and held my hand until I fell asleep, thankfully he was my late mom's Gyno and knew how much of an emotional basketcase I can be. I woke up in the Recovery room and the Ob-Gyn came to tell me that everything went well and that he'd be back by later. He then walked out to the waiting room and told my hubby personally that the surgery went well. That and he wanted to talk TV's with my hubby since he is an large appliance Salesman.

The nurses in the after care room went out and got hubby for me and he sat with me waiting until I was sent home. Once home he made lunch/dinner (it was 3:00 almost) of hot dogs and tater tots, its okay that he's not a chef I love him for thinking of me. Then he laid in bed with me and watched The Waterhorse while I slept.

He keeps popping in to check on me when I'm in bed and now that I'm on the computer and he's in the living room he's listening for me.

I just appreciate all the small things he does for me, I don't always acknowledge them daily but they do mean a lot to me.

I love you dear sweet hubby of mine, we've spent 10 wonderful years together (married for 1.5) and I can't wait to see what the next 10 years hold in store for us.
