Vernon and our daughter at a house we rented in Salem, MA in Sept.
And he takes it all calmly, quietly, and without missing a beat. And sometimes just ignores me completely. Good move, honey. :)
I yell, he smiles. I scream, he tells me he'll give me some time. I cry, he says he loves me and "we'll" figure it out. He usually doesn't take things personally, and he shouldn't. If i'm just generally pissy, (which NEVER happens of course...) he watches the kids so i can work for 8 hours straight without interruption. Which is luckily my happy, calm place.
We are good at picking up each others slack, and do make each other better every day. And despite what i said above, he thinks i have a lot to offer him as well. He'd most likely cross off more than half of the flaws i mentioned because he disagrees that they are even flaws. He really finds the good in me and emphasizes and appreciates it. He takes me as i am, doesn't ever try to change me, and supports even the silliest of things i want to do or accomplish.
We've been through a lot in our 8 years of marriage of course, and at times, i feel like the only thing keeping me sane is knowing i can lean on him with as much weight as i need to, and know that it will be just fine. He doesn't see this song as appropriate when describing any part of our relationship, (modesty) but i truly love this song because it explains how i feel about him in my darkest hours when i need him most. He's always there and always will be there to carry me through anything.
And yes, thank you Twilight, for introducing me to this song and artist in the first place.
