If I could give him a bright white spot light to stand under he would be smiling and making faces trying to get laughs. He always gets me but there are those who don't think he's as funny as I do, and that's just fine cause he's mine. No blond chick will be able to withstand the simple and uncynical beauty of our humor long enough to get his attention. Not to get too gooy, but I love this dude! There is no one on earth like him. He is a one and only, unique piece of human being who just so happens to have his bad moments too.
That, I believe is what makes him so lovable. He can show his flaws and still be as real a human being as he was in his best form. Never fake, always kind and understanding. I don't know a man who could do the things he does on a regular basis without going crazy. Working later shifts and rushing to the train so he isn't stuck downtown until midnight. He's a good man.
He's also an accomplished artist. It's almost as if it's his biggest secret. The stacks of journals he keeps are his prize possessions. He has always let me flip through them and read short passages he jotted as he drew with no shame. Honesty seems to seep from my husband and it's hard not to be honest with him because of it. He won't lie, he'll tell you if he can't keep a secret and he'll always call when he's running late.
Why have I written today about my husband? Because he deserves an honorable mention. Because he is hardworking and loving even when I am grumpy. Because he will do the yard work as well as the dishes if it needs being done. He'll rock the baby for an hour so I can get some sleep and he'll stand up for me breast feeding in public when others scowl. He will cut my hair when I don't want to spend the money and he'll take my bossy directions with the scissors when he does.
He deserves an honorable mention because he was the one who told me I should focus on myself more. I'm a pretty lucky lady.
