Our family trip for “Spring Break” was fun. While our friends don’t always comply with the “fun” part, we still had a good time together as a family.
One of the nicest moments was on the pane ride home when we were watching “The Notebook” together. I was sure that it wasn’t going to be as “touching” as you guys told me it was, but you proved me wrong. I can only imagine what the other people on the plane were thinking when you and I were hugging each other with tears in our eyes. It was a nice moment no matter who was watching.
The movie kind of struck me in different ways. First of all I’d give all of my super powers to make the ending come true for us as well. I’ll start trying to figure out ways to make that happen. Of course it makes me start thinking about the “end” so that isn’t good. But if us passing hand in hand with no pain for the other one to endure is possible, then it has to be a goal.
The part of the movie I most enjoyed was the extent that he would go to get “5 minutes” of his wife back. No matter how painful the time afterwards was going to be for him. To spend all day telling a story so that for a brief moment he could get back what was most important to him is truly romantic. But it made me wonder, just how important is 5 minutes now?
So I thought of some 5 minute things I truly enjoy about you. By 5 minute things I mean things that happen pretty much every day that many couples take for granted. Here is what i came up with:
- A dozen glimpse of your smile
- 10 times holding hands in the car
- The time after we eat dinner that you make me stay at the table, even though I want to get up
- Watching you get dressed
- Checking your daily “color” selection
- Making sure that the TV is set to the proper channel when we go to bed
- Anytime we are in the home office back to back doing whatever it is we happen to be doing at the time
- Anytime you make me laugh
- More glimpses of your smile
- Waking you up from the couch to go to bed at night
I guess there are so many things we do all day long that make up our time together. That he went to such lengths to get 5 minutes – any 5 minutes – to have the person he loved back with him is truly romantic. I do the same thing to get any 5 minutes back from you.
You’re the world to me. I love you more than anything in the world.
