Bill did not have to work. Woo hoo! He started the day with real flowers (until now, he's been the type of guy to stop at the convenience store and get one of those silk roses....that I HATE...lol). Next he did all the little Honey Do things I've been bugging him about since forever. We enjoyed puttering around the house together in amicable peace with one another.
Then I had an allergic reaction to some medicine that I have taken for a long time, but hadn't taken in the last couple of months. He was very close to calling an ambulance, but he gently and kindly nursed me through for about 7 hours until the reaction subsided.
When I began to get better I was hungry. He made me an awesome roast beef dinner that was tender and moist and well-flavored...and was just the right amount of everything for my diabetic diet.
Once I was back on my feet, he did some major furniture moving for me and we finally began to get our kitchen set up proper like...after 7 months of figuring out where we wanted things to be permanently.
At the end of the day he sang to me. I am a fool for a man who sings to me....especially him!
My gifts to him were changes in how I've been treating him and my expectations of him, an hour or so of expressing in prose all that he has meant and does mean to me and the children and our granddaughter, and an awesome lighter that I can't explain but will hopefully be able to get a video clip of to post....'cause y'all have just GOT to see this lighter to even begin to understand the hilarious times we've had with it! LOL
At the end of the day we knew we had turned the corner off of "Will We Make It? Alley" and finally onto "We Wouldn't Have It Any Other Way Avenue".
It was a quiet turning...one that we didn't know if we'd ever make...but it was a turning...a good one...a permanent one...a hard-fought and well-earned one.
