‘Today my husband was ‘CAUGHT IN THE ACT.’ He had a special request for dinner, so I stopped in our nearest grocery store to pick up the items needed.’ As I was looking for a spot in the express checkout, I noticed someone with a uniform similar to my husband’s (common for our location). I saw this person weaving & bobbing as I was 2 people behind in line. His arm covering his face while stooped behind the register, I focused on the guy wondering ‘why’s this guy hiding?’ looked into their eyes and noticed it was my husband!!! He was TRYING TO HIDE from me!! As if I didn’t already know his secret!!
You see, the past two years my husband has made a point to give me a dozen roses each Friday. I’ve always known they came from the floral dept (one day a cashier congratulated me for getting roses every week while he and I were shopping together). When our eyes finally locked-still a couple people between us in line-we both had the biggest smiles on our faces, we laughed under our breath & didn’t say a word to each other. He paid & left.
The moral of the story is: after working a 12-hour shift on a hot Louisiana day he STILL found the energy to appreciate me. NO EXCUSES MADE!
Men, it doesn’t take much to show a woman your love most of us love small gestures Women, don’t ever reject a man’s efforts. It doesn’t always have to be white linen tablecloths and candles.
Women: BE appreciative Men: BE consistent with staying consistent. If he brought me a rock every Friday, I’m starting a rock collection If he wants to sell ice cream, I’m scooping however he chooses to express his love, I’m accepting.”
