Dear Sue,
I need to remind you of something.
You have taught me a lot over the years, least of which is how much of a jerk I can be at times and how you don’t let it affect you so much. You tolerate a lot....and in the process, have have taught me a lot of tolerance. But more than anything else, you reminded me about the value of child-like dreaming.
You want to do new things and get all excited about the possibility of doing them. Most folks lose that when they get older, you don’t.
Sometimes you nurture too much. The three dogs and six cats that we have in our house are a testament to that. You have a hard time saying no or turning someone away that needs a favor. But these are really things that I can fault you for. You can’t fault Mother Teresa for being too kind.
You are a pretty messy person, although you hate clutter. You are disorganized in the extreme, never knowing where anything is placed, but you make up for it by making the best diners out of virtually nothing in the kitchen.
You complain about how difficult the audio-video system is to operate in the house, but for some reason, when push comes to shove, you were always able to figure out how to pull up ‘As The World Turns’ when you wanted to watch it.
But mostly, I have come to realize that you are the only person that is willing to put up with me and for that I am pretty blessed. Truly blessed. So while I might be a moody, brooding, S.O.B. sometimes, don’t ever think for a moment that you are the gosh-darn best thing that will ever happen to me in my lifetime.
Your Husband,
Lotus07
yeah, i imagine that Sue must deserve some sort of award. hee hee hee.
ReplyDeleteSue sounds lovely. You're right, she's the best thing in your life. And isn't she the luckiest gal to have you too :)
ReplyDeleteVery sweet!
ReplyDeleteI think I'm her long lost cousin when it comes to the messy/clutter/dinner thing.
And I think maybe it's not putting up with people if (as J. Shogren sings) the holes in your head match the bumps in hers...at least, that's how I hope it is here in the second try at marriage department, 'cause ****I**** sure wouldn't want to put up with me!
Aww, shucks Lotus. Who knew you had such a sweet side? Sue is one amazing woman.
