Compliments, accomplishments, people we love should know

My husband just left for work. We had been sitting around the kitchen table talking. Me with coffee and him with scrimp. Interesting combo isn't it? I had made two critical remarks about him and he retorted with one towards me. Nothing serious, just explanations. Something occurred to me. Just in an instant. If today was our last day together, would Bo or I realize what we mean to each other? Do I tell him how much I appreciate how hard he works for his family to provide for us? Do I tell him I still can feel my heart race when I remember seeing him for the first time? Does he know that I compliment him with my friends? Does he hear me compliment him? What about me? How do I know he loves me and cherishes our love? Does he give me compliments? Does he still think I am pretty? Do I do a good job with our home and children? Is he proud to go out with me? Am I still his chosen one? I have heard the cynical statement, "I'll let you know when I don't love you anymore." The final day of the year 2005. I am going to start running again. I am going to get my top shape back. Take better care of my face. Wait a minute. Maybe I need to make sure I am getting my love into shape. Bo and I need to love, live, and express clearly to each other, how much we need, appreciate and value what we have. I had boyfriends come and go before I met my husband. There wasn't really any heartache or trauma. After knowing someone for 23 years, he is the other part of my heart. Completed. Accomplished. Thank-you. I just wanted to let someone know.
