He Loves Me This Much...

My husband sends me Arizona Statehood Day flowers. It just so happens that Arizona Statehood Day and Valentine's Day are the same day. When I look at them I think, "Wow! Look how much he loves me." Silly thought! That's the least of how much he loves me. Let me count the ways...

1. He loves me so much, that on the day I wore two different shoes to work, he brought the mates of both shoes and a soda in the middle of his day off. That's how much he loves me.
2. He loves me so much that he bought not one but two birthday cakes at Costco for the WHOLE first grade...and he delivered them on his day off. That's how much he loves me.
3. He loves me so much that he calls me on my way home to ask how my day was...while he's at work saving lives. That's how much he loves me.
4. He loves me so much that when I report that I need to have a minor breakdown about one of the endeavors in my life that often exclude him, he just holds me and lets me cry. That's how much he loves me.
   
5. He loves me so much that when I "jokingly" say, "It's all about me," he says "Yes it is." And he means it. That's how much he loves me.
6. He loves me so much that he gets angry if I try to clean house on my day off because it's my only day off. That's how much he loves me.
   

My husband is GREAT gift giver. Life for him is simple: take care of his wife and children. I hear how much he loves me every day, but more importantly I SEE how much he loves me in more ways that just a bouquet of flowers. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the roses, the perfect Christmas gifts, the tea pot and cups for my classroom, the books for my students.

In this season of love and gifts, I'm just thankful that that every day is Valentine's day at my house and that Arizona Statehood Day is an occasion for roses.
