I’ve Learned Things

I won’t make this public tonight.  That wouldn’t be fair to you in your current condition.  I’m being strong for you.  I am.  Really strong. I can feel it in my core.  We’ve got this.

But I can’t tell you that it hasn’t torn me apart.  But I know things will be fine soon.  I’ve known for some time how to manage this life.  How to make sure that every day sets up the next day.

We’ve had a few other things in our marriage that have terrified me.  We’ve made it through everyone of them.  Sometimes we fretted too much when shouldn’t have and sometimes not enough when we should have.

But life has taught me things. I’ve learned the strategy that lets you sleep soundly at night.  Makes you always feel hopeful.  Makes you always believe things will be just fine.  Just take life one day at a time.  It is simple.  It is easy.

Make it through today.  End today with a plan to make it through tomorrow.  Let what happens, happen.   Don’t let it break you.  You’ve panicked a thousand times and yet it always worked out.  So why not believe its going again be just fine.

Tomorrow will be another day.  I promise.

Don’t be stupid and not plan for the future.  The future is the best part.  Think about it my love, no one plans for bad stuff in the future.  You would only look to the future for good stuff.  So in addition to today, plan for a good future.  A fun future.  And guess what?  Tomorrow gets you one day closer to that fun future. And next day, even closer.  But just get through today and plan for tomorrow.

Tomorrow will be another day.  I promise.

See?  I’ve learned things.  I may not be able to spell “no peeking”, but your husband knows stuff.

So I ask you, what was the best thing that happened to you today?  I can’t wait to hear it.

You’re the world to me, I love you more than anything in the world.
