Being married to TLW (The Little Woman) for 36 years, I’ve tried each year to remind myself of the good that is in our lives. Today I remind myself of the good in my life.
Being deaf all these years, I have never been anything but accommodated, helped and never pitied. TLW has never once made me feel less than I am, and always showed me ways to make my life easier in the hearing department. I can’t imagine how difficult it was for her to have to listen to the TV with the sound blasting, the radio out loud in the car or the HI-FI so loud the house must have shook. I am always grateful to hear her sweet voice, and I know that she endured the audio pain for my comfort, never once complaining.
Funny thing is that that is the way she is with everything, and everyone in the house. I have never heard her say we don’t appreciate her, when in essence we don’t appreciate her enough. As a Mom, she is ever lasting and steady in her influence, and as a wife, the foundation of our marriage. When she feels sorry for herself it is but a brief moment, then off she goes to do what she must, care for others.
I still think of her as my girlfriend, I see her as she was and as she is, perfect for me in every way, and in every way that is how I want it.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, SWEETHEART, I LOVE YOU!
