Today I was reading the blog of the daughter in law of one of the ladies I work with. I absolutely love this lady I work with. She is sweet, kind, caring, and everything else you can think of with a cherry on top! She has an equally adorable husband who also works with the company. They have 2 sons. Anthony is 24 and living with them while he attends college. The other son Jason, I think he is 23. He got married 2 years ago and was recently transferred to Guam. His wife Kate has a blog that Beth (the lady I work with) suggested I check out because she knows I like writing.
Kate’s blog talks a lot about being young, married and in love. The title of her post today was “I know why I married him.” She went on to describe how tomorrow is her birthday but Jason couldn’t wait for her to open his present. The gift was full of goodies including her favorite TV show on DVD, a mix CD of Christian artists, and the same Victoria’s Secret lotion that she wore her Freshman year in high school (which is when they met). It had some of her favorite cookies and a new book of one of her favorite authors. She went on to say that her husband knows her through and through. He listens to her rants, draws her a bath before she gets home, makes her coffee and knows her like no else.
Beth and her husband are equally as cute. He brings her flowers when she’s having a bad day. He has her coffee ready when she’s done with her morning walk. He’ll come and have lunch with her if he’s near the office. They’ve been married over 20 years and he still looks at her like he doesn’t see anyone else in the room. Beth still gets excited when she talks about him. They still do special things together. They don’t have much, and they’re completely content with that.
I feel like that’s how love should be. It’s how I always imagined it. It’s the kind of love I hope to one day have.
Wow. That really IS how love is supposed to be. Too bad it isn’t always that kind of fairytale for all of us, but for those that have it, it makes it that much more special.
