One of the many reasons why I love my husband is that he does the little things that are so big to me.
Today I go to grab the olive oil while I'm making dinner and remember that the bottle we have by the oven needs to be re-filled. I have a moment where I feel deflated and defeated because I remember that the BIG Costco jug of olive oil is in the garage (our pantry) downstairs and I am tired, watching two kids and not in the mood to run down and up again just for two tablespoons of oil. Ugh!
Then, like a beautiful gift wrapped in shiny paper I look at the bottle next to the oven and I literally almost cry.
My wonderful husband who knows how much I hate to re-fill the olive oil bottle had filled it to the brim (probably the night before) without saying a word to me. This sweet little gesture, this seemingly inconsequential act of kindness has put the wind back in my sails and made me fall in love with him all over again.
Thank you my Ry for the big and the small.
ugh, this stuff GETS me. When Nick premakes the coffee for me, I'm almost in tears. Seriously.
ReplyDeleteNow if Ryan could remember to check the oil in his car, he might be on to something.
ReplyDeleteI love Ryan and I love the way he loves my little girl. Ryan, you are wonderful. mom
