Today at work I spoke to a sweet old man who was very concerned about his wife. Now he was calling to see what we could do or have him do to help his wife becuase she was in pain. Now, his wife is in hospice care, and probably wont be long on the earth, but her husband loves her and just wants to do whatever he can to make her happy.....still.....no matter what. I had to make a few different call to the vna, her pcp, and then back to the husband, and every time he was so sweet. thanking me for helping, and blessing my day, and I just wanted to reach through the phone and give him a hug because the last time I spoke to him her just sounded sad. like he was accepting the fact that his wife, his soulmate probably isn't going to live much longer.
It made me think about my life, and how I want to be the wife that my husband will still do a ything for 50 years from now, the mom that my kids will want to please when the tables turn and they become our caretakers.

On a lighter note, it seems that my little man is pretty much potty trained! he still uses a diaper at bedtime, and if we will be out for a long time, but we ran an errand this afternoon, and then got home and went for a walk all with his "big boy car undies" and the srayed totally dry!!!
hooray!!!!!! I cant wait to really save money not buying diapers...I have been buying diapers for over 5 years!!! :)
well, I am going to go watch hoarders on tv...I know, its a bizarre reality show, but I just love watching those shows!
