It's the little things...

Each night as Mike and I get ready for bed, we spend a few minutes chatting as we brush our teeth. It is just one of those times each day that is part of the routine of life. Small as it may be, it's special quality time. Not only do we have the chance to talk without kids interrupting, but there is a small thing that Mike silently does for me each and every night. He places a clean and neatly folded hand towel by my sink. I glance down at that loyal towel that appears like magic each night, and think of how lucky I am to have a husband who is so thoughtful. Yes, a clean towel is small, but it speaks volumes on Mike's love for me - along with the many other things he does. I could not have asked for a better husband and father for our kids. I am also grateful that he makes time each and every day to do something - small or large - but something that says I love you! It is truly the non-material, giving of yourself gifts that mean the very most.

Of all the gifts in this world that I have been given, I have to say that my husband Mike is one of the best!
