Memories

You know how some moments are just stuck in your mind forever.  When you’re living the moment you don’t realize the magnitude of it.  Most of the time you don’t realize that this will be one of those memories etched for years and years on your heart.  Well I was just thinking of one of those special treasures I have.  I think on it often and at the time I didn’t think too much of it.  This might embarass him and I don’t think he remembers this instance, but it’s of my beloved husband.  He is a quiet, good man.  He’s one of the hardest working men I know.  His dedication to the Lord, me and his family make up who he is.  Well, this memory I have is from before we were married.  We were sitting on my parent’s front porch and I was having a hard time due to some unwise choices I had made.  He just sat next to me with his arm around me.  That’s it.  That’s my memory.  I knew he loved me.  Loved me enough to just sit with me and let me be sad.  I remember that touch and it’s a beautiful thing.
