My youngest daughter drew a picture of me and my husband. We're standing hand in hand, and between our heads there's a floating balloon. I was pleasantly surprised. Obviously, we make quite a loving, and harmonious couple!
But then she said: 'That was before you had us, mummy!'
When we left the city to move to the country my husband and I couldn't agree on lots of things. One of them was what kind of lamps we should get. I wanted a beautiful chandelier I wanted beautiful chandeliers. My husband didn't know what he wanted. But one thing he did know: no chandeliers....
Whenever my kids stumble, I like to catch them, and declare in solemn tones: 'I've got you. Mommy's got you!' And I can only hope, that when they've become adults, and they trip and fall on the troublesome path that is life, I'll still be there saying: 'I've got you.' But who's got me? But...
Hubby likes to show his love for me, by physical contact. He likes to visit my side of the bed, and then wrench his clammy foot between my warm legs. And if that's not an option, he wants to at least put his hand on my shoulder. Just so I know that he's there. Sweet...

Thanks Kenny. That's a lovely way of looking at it.
Kids are so funny! Wonder what her picture would like if she drew you now? Hehehe
