The Depths in the Planes of Love

My poor husband.  I love him so much.

He has spent almost every free moment down in the basement over the past week - building my Christmas present.  Most of the time - he hasn’t given up for the day until around midnight.

It takes hours to plane down one of those long boards - from an old 1920 tobacco barn.


Just when he begins feeling like he’s making progress - he grabs the wrong board - to cut in half.

To be here and witness his efforts throughout this entire process - is to know that just the thought of laughing at him would be totally cruel.

I have no doubt - even some of those male coworkers would get quiet for a while - prolly head out to the back porch - light up a cigarette - and wipe a tear away - as soon as they made sure nobody was looking.

I will - without a doubt - find a way to save that gorgeous piece of lumber.

I love him as much as he is showing his love to me right now - even more.

I refuse to let any of his efforts go down the drain in vain.  The hardest part will be - simply - trying to make up my mind.
