Reason 99...
The way you will never intentionally hurt me.
My wife has been intentionally hurt most of her life. She grew up with bad people and in turn surrounded herself with more. It is one of my personal goals to never do the same. She deserves that and deserves to know that she is better than that. I don't ever want her to feel hurt like she has in the past ever again and I will do all that I can to make sure that she doesn't...at my hands or another's.
Reason 100...
How patient you are.
She made this one up. One of my major failings is my lack of patience. I just, tonight had to reign myself in while doing homework with my daughter. She has autism and math is particularly hard for her. Not so much the mechanics of it but the fact that it's not something that comes to her automatically. She has patience issues too! I love that she inspires me to have more patience. I wish I could be better at it, because she needs inspiration to be more patient too. We are, all of us, in this together.
Reason 126...
The way you kiss me when I hurt.
As I've said before, my wife has been hurt in the past. When those things haunt her in the present my sole reason for being is to make her feel at home and safe. It's that simple. She must know that I'm going to always be there for her.
Reason 148...
Saying that you love me every day!
I love you!
Reason 51...
When I am with you the whole world stops.
I feel that same about my wife. Not in the romantic sense, but in the sense that when I'm with her and my family, nothing else really matters. Perhaps that IS the romantic sense. I'm whole when I'm with them. And I pray they truly feel the same way about me. Our family is all I need in this world.
Reason 149...
When you rub me when I hurt.
I'm not the most compassionate man on the planet, I must admit. I kind of a dick when my wife is sick. I don't know why but maybe it has to do with the fact that I don't WANT her to be sick...I want her to feel good all the time. So it's generally misplaced. But on the occasion that she's hurt and needs a good rub, I'll rub as much as she needs. She does the same for me...until she finds a skin aberration to pick. Gross!
