This may sound like a bit of a whiney blog but I don't mean to whine. Trust me- when I am purposely whining, you will know. I can be really really good at whining.
This past month Hank and I rejoiced over the fact that I didn't get a single migraine all month. I had stopped taking the medicine I was using because it didn't totally eliminate them. But last night we went for a walk and I could feel a migraine coming on as we walked up to the house. (hmm... Perhaps I am allergic to exercise?)
I laid down at 7, got up to eat an apple at 8 and then Hank and I went to bed. It was a rough night and I kept waking Hank up with my groaning as I writhed in pain (only a slight exaggeration). The pain made me nauseated so I would lean over the side of the bed and each time he would reach over and hold my hair. As he offered me water or asked how I was doing or held me hair, somehow his help made me feel better in the midst of it all.
Sometimes love looks like this. When I thanked him this morning, he reminded me that it was all part of the vows. For better or worse, sickness and in health.
ps. Many thanks to Sarah at emergingmummy.com for showing me the value of writing out what love looks like in our marriage.
