Just Because

I am a homemaker, not the most glamorous woman in the world.

Most of my clothes has stains or holes and there are even days that I don't leave the house.

I cook, clean, do laundry, and take care of the pets.

A lot of the time my husband comes home, takes of his work clothes, and sits and waits for dinner while watching TV.

I think that all of my efforts are unnoticed, that was until last week.

I had a horrible day, nothing was going right and I just wanted the day to be over.

I had talked to my husband over the phone and told him I was tired and the day had sucked.

He replied in the normal "I'm busy" by just sighing in agreement.

He didn't hear me or wasn't paying attention.

I burned dinner and wasn't able to finish the laundry so when he arrived I was just done.

Then it happened, I looked up to say hello to him and in his hands were a bouquet of pink tulips ...my favorite.

They were what we had at our wedding.

He walked to me, KISSED ME, handed me the flowers and told me he was sorry my day was so bad.

I cried...

Seeing those flowers just made everything better, knowing that he went out of his way to get tulips just made me melt and made the whole day better.
