Vince can aggravate the heck out of me and I’m sure I do the same to him – probably worse. But, he has a softer side that most never see.
I may have mentioned that yesterday I got a flu shot and my second pneumonia vaccine. I knew I would feel bad or a day or two and decided it was better to feel bad in MO where I don’t have so much to get done, than to feel bad in TX where we’re going to be working non-stop for the next few weeks.
Addie was going back home yesterday afternoon so yesterday morning was a good time to get those vaccines, but least night, I felt bad and probably had a bit of fever when I went to bed. I was freezing! We had five quilts on the bed. Vince was covered with only the sheet, I was under all five quilts and still shivering. I knew he wasn’t asleep yet so I asked him if I could put my freezing feet on him. He’s always so warm! He said “You don’t even have to ask! You know you can do it!” I felt like it would be kinda rude to put my ice cold feet on him without him knowing that was coming. I told him thanks . . and then he said “You know I’ll always keep you safe and warm!” As bad as I felt, that was about all I needed to get the tears flowing. I tried to sniffle in silence because Vince would have thought he’d hurt my feelings if he knew there were tears.
I still don’t feel 100% great today but I feel much better than I felt last night. Vince is hanging around with the tree guys this morning. He wants to go to Walmart and get a few things this afternoon but I’ll stay home. Today is the perfect day for knitting. It’s gorgeous outside . . and cool! It was 63 in the house when we woke up this morning. I’ll never complain about that kind of weather.

That’s so incredibly sweet – my eyes are watering because that is just so wonderful. Hope you feel better soon.

I just had the same combo of shots and felt like crap too. But my hubby didn’t anything that sweet.
Susan Nixon says
Yeah. Paul let me do that, too. It’s the little things.

It is not hard to see that he loves you very much. He really shows it in a lot of ways. And I know the feeling is mutual. You both do so much for each other and it is evident.

husbands are sweet but the saying “can’t live with them and can’t live without them” still holds

Mine would have offered (if he was still awake-HA) to go get a heating pad or hot water bottle for me. Better than a “No.”
