Last night you got up in the middle of the night and took Gideon. It was about 1am.
Full disclosure-you said you were up because you really wanted to..um...roll around in the bed a bit.
So, really, this scenario has a couple good husband bits.
1) you want me.
Now, I know this isn't news, but it's still pretty awesome. It may not seem like it much, but I really am grateful for that. It's nice to know that you still love me in and in more ways than one. And I love you more for it.
2) you took Gideon in the middle of the night.
That was freaking awesome. I have to admit, sometimes I get jealous of you being able to sleep without him. I shouldn't, I know. That's only one piece of everything that we both do to make everything work (and we both know you do waaaay more laundry than I do). But to have that time (I don't even know how much it was) was wonderful. Thank you.
3) you took Gideon and didn't take me.
Now this one is kinda backwards. While sometimes it's romantic to go the other way around (the passion we talked about) sometimes-like when I'm so wasted I can't get my mouth to move-it doesn't work so well. The fact that you served me and enabled me to sleep more when what you really wanted was for us to sleep a little less that night was an incredible expression of selfless love.
I am so blessed to have you as my husband. As I write this I am humbled and feel truly undeserving of your care.
I love you, John.
