You know how I do…
Author: thenicknick
Some women need grand gestures. They need the flowers and jewelry and chocolate. They need the fancy restaurants. I take and hold dear all the little things.
Last night, after we finished a lovely meal out on the patio where I ate my food grilled and he had all of his deep fried, he turned to me and jokingly apologized that it wasn’t a candlelight dinner. And I laughed and reminded him, for the umpteenth time, that I don’t care about those things. I know how he feels without the words. I know how he feels without the traditional symbols. And I fairly glow as a result.
Life is all about the little things. It’s about…
- offering to build me a swingset in the back yard with two swings on it so he can talk to me while I swing
- buying drumsticks, even though he prefers wings because I haven’t had them in a while
- throwing two gutter balls in a row so that we end the game tied
- about kissing my boo boo, even if it’s just a tiny one
- taking the scenic route home so he can give me a tour of his life
- wanting a tour of mine
- going to Sam’s Club twice in one day so I can exchange the camis I grabbed in the wrong size
- telling me how cute I look bowling
- telling me how great I look, and meaning it
- picking me up and spinning me around when I make a strike as though I am feather-light
- making sure I have fun
- acknowledging when I’m blissfully happy and offering to do what it takes to keep me that way forever
- ending an amazing night by holding me while I sleep
And that was just yesterday. Who needs flowers and candlelight? Who needs jewerly and chocolates? Okay, maybe the chocolates a little.
