Being Your Husband's Girlfriend
05/29/2018


Hi Dr. Laura:

Today was my twelfth wedding anniversary.  My lovely husband is quite forgetful, so I figured he would forget, then rush to the store to buy me flowers, but that's not what happened.  

Every year, on our anniversary, I put on my wedding dress, play our wedding song and ask him to dance with me.  Today, he had to go out for an hour, and while he was gone, I put on makeup, sprayed perfume in all the right places, put on my gown, and as soon as he walked back in the door I hit "play" on Tony Bennett's "The Way You Look Tonight."  His face lit up, he got choked up and held me close as we swayed to the music.  I got emotional too as I thought of that lovely day, and as the tears fell down my cheeks, he said, "You look just as beautiful today as you did then," and handed me a gift bag with a beautiful silk blouse in it (silk is a gift for a twelfth wedding anniversary).

I have to thank YOU for that silk blouse.  I believe I got it because I am my husband's girlfriend.  I cook him what he likes, I love him, and I give him compliments every day.  I love my husband and he knows it, and that is why he remembered today.  Thank you, Mother Laura, for your wise words and your wonderful spirit.
