Small Moments

Gareth has to go in to work early today, so I decided I would get up early too so I could make his lunch.  I made him two baloney sandwiches with Swiss cheese and a slice of blueberry pie and a granola bar.  

Its a quiet morning and except for the coffee pot making his morning coffee and the sound of Gareth in the shower there was little stirring in the house as the cats were just laying around still in sleep mode. 

When Gareth finished his shower and came into the kitchen for his morning cup of coffee, smelling clean and fresh and wearing just his boxers with his chest hair still a bit wet from the shower, my heart beat a little faster.  I love that after all this time just the sight of him still turns me on.  He was also pleased to see me standing in the kitchen packing his lunch as a big smile spread across his face.  

In short time he was dressed and heading out the door, lunch in hand.  A few small kisses to let him know I love him and then one last one that lingered a little to remind him I'll miss him while he is gone and that I'll be waiting for him when he gets home.  

Its was just a small moment of a long day to come, but its the small moments that sometimes are the ones we'll remember for a long time.  And the text I just received from him that said, "I love you, boy.  See ye soon." was just another small moment that I'll cherish in my heart.

It's wonderful you appreciate the small moments. I've been following your blog for over 2 years. Rarely comment, just savor. Been diagnosed w/ extensive small cell carcinoma in both lungs, liver and lymph nodes and just finished 6 rounds of chemo. At 37, i thought i'd have an infinite amount of small moments. Guess not. So cherish those small moments!
Cheers!

Is it possible to love someone you have never actually met? I think so, because when you write like this, I understand why Gareth loves you. I am so glad that I "accidentally" found your blog. I always feel good after reading it. Thank you so much!

Elaine, thanks. I love getting your emails and hearing from you about what is going on in your world. The stories you have told me about your husband and the times you had together are really touching to read.
