After the morning I had yesterday, I didn't think there was anything that would be able to make it better. It's hot, I'm cranky, and I've spent over two hours in a grocery store, pushing a cart, trying to avoid the other nasty unhappy people. I have a suburban full of stuff to put away. Shit.
Then I find it. A simple scrap piece of paper. I was suppose to find it when I woke up. On it is written, three small words. 'I love you.'
That's all it had to say. It made the world stop. Quiet. I trace the letters with my fingers, to bring the words alive. I hear his voice and feel his touch. I can see his smile in my mind and smile in return. I trace the letters again and feel peace come over me.
I remember all the other notes. The ones that are saved in a suit case. I will have over 100 at least of just those 3 words. I have saved them all. It's hard to put the paper down. It has a worth I can not begin to describe. I would not want to loose it, it must be saved with the others.
After 20 years of being with this man, he still has the ability to reach out and undo me. With just a scrap piece of paper, a bit of ink, and 3 small words.

What a man! Can he come beat my husband into some sort of semi balance of romantisim, if not can he just come beat my husband, or you can do that if you want.
However I'm feeling your pain sister at the shit load of stuff to put away, then after putting away it's cleaning the house yet again...Damnit, I did that last year ya'd think the place could stay clean.
expei, you are most devoted, my pet. Thank you.
Alekx, I can loan you a 2x4, if you wish. I rarely have to use it on 'M' any more. The groceries, they are still not all put away. And I like to a task only once also. I alterante between going crazy with the mess, and wanting to burn everything in site...so I don't have to put it away again.
:0) Great title, that is soft.
Mistress,
Thank whatever you consider holy that you have had him 20 years. I only had mine for 8. I wish you joy for another 1000 years.
Lillielaw, thank you. I work on my marriage every day. It is the most important thing in my life. 20 years is a lot when you are only 34.
Mary Pat, thanks.
Zezrie, I do. Everyday, I do. I am sorry for your loss. I can not imagine life without him.
