General Little Things That Mean A Lot

[amethist]

The little things in life have always been special and important to hubby and I. Last night he showed me he can now begin do the little things that mean a lot, again.

I was having one of those bored moments, and we were trying to decide what we would have for supper. Chinese, Pizza, Indian, nope none of these appealed at all.

Then out of the blue HE suggested we go for walk and get fish and chips. WOW we have not done that for a few years now, and he must have seen my eyes light up at the suggestion. Not for the fish and chips, but for him suggesting the walk to go get them. When we got there they were closing, 7.30pm on a Saturday night and the chippy is closing LOL. They only had sausages and chips left, but it did not matter, we had curry sauce at home to spice them up.

We talked about it again this morning, it was not the chips that counted, it was the walk He suggested that made it so special for me, and he could see it again this morning.

These little things do not happen often, but when they do, they stay in your memory for a long time.

Has anyone else got any of these "Little Important Times" that you remember. They can help keep you connected when times get tough.

Yes. I get unspeakable pains in hand and shoulder-burning. It's something squished in the cervical spine. generally get up so as not to keep my husband awake and go try to Benedryl myself into oblivion elsewhere. Pain meds don't touch it so don't bother with them. He has to get up at 5:30 for work. It was so awful the other night it made me cry-didn't think he could have heard but then there he was holding my other hand, not saying anything, just bleary eyed sitting there. 2 am. I finally drifted off and woke up at 4-he was asleep too,sitting up, there was a blanket over me, and he still had my hand.

I'd have gotten through the night and not thought anything of it if he hadn't come out. He did, though. he seemed a little surprised at how much it meant to me when I told him-like no big deal! Funny.

LOL, I live for the little things.

I think it's counter productive point out them all but I notice them and I do, on occasion, express to my sufferer that I knew sometng was hard for her or that I appreciated her effort in some way.

For some reason this particular memory always comes to mind. We were looking for a Nintendo DS that was stashed away in their mess of a storage room. And we spent the entire weekend looking for it. Well I looked one last time, for a good hour or two, and in one of the boxes we happened to find it. As stupid as it was, we were SO happy, I'm talking jumping up and down kissing hugging all of that, over a Nintendo DS! When one of us is down, I always remind her of that story, that if we can find a Nintendo DS together, we can do anything together! And of course it makes her smile. :)
