"What am I going to do?"
His response was "whaa?" "huh?" "whas a matter?"
Yea, he was sound asleep.
The best thing about being married to Ross is that no matter what he is doing, 99.9% of the time he will immediately stop, or in this case jolt out of a sound sleep, and give me his undivided attention.
Actually tied for the best thing about being married to Ross is that he listens, giving my question or statement thoughtful consideration. His brow furrows and I can almost hear the wheels turning as he ponders what I have said. Of course I realize that part of the pondering he does may have to do with stalling for time as he attempts to assess my mood.
Ross and I have been married 11 years. Early on in our relationship he revealed to me that he has been gifted with "the force". He reassures me that he only uses "the force" when all other humanly efforts have failed.
By now, I probably should not be surprised that even if I pose a quite cryptic question or make a seemingly ambiguous statement, 99.9% of the time, with perhaps a minimum number of clues or a few follow up questions, he is able to piece my sometimes jig sawed words together to solve the puzzle. But I am still in awe of how eerily telepathic his responses are.
Actually, topping the tied for two best things about being married to Ross is that he knows when no words are needed, just big, tight, secure, "I got ya", hugs.
Oh, one more thing, a little while into our relationship, Ross revealed his "dancing" name to me. Sorry but I promised not to tell.
I have created a page for Anna's Diary. It can be found under the Tab titled Anna's Diary.
I have posted all of the entries to date there, starting with January 1, 1929.
Here are the entries from the past two days from Anna's diary:
Mon. December 2, 1929
Went to N.Y. to get coat out of storage with Mary & Rose. Went to New Paramount. Very stormy out and lots of snow. Came home about 7:30 and rushed to pick up girls for card party at Elks by Mrs. Albano.
Tues. December 3, 1929
Home all day. Tired from rushing last night. Slippery and nasty out doors. Junior had to stay in all day and made him cross. Baked a lovely cake to amuse him a bit.
That is an awesome characteristic to have in a husband. Lucky you!

Listening is the best quality a partner can have. One does not always have to "do" something about an issue, but listening is key. Thanks for the look into your awesome husband's personality.
ReplyDeleteI agree. You are wonderfully fortunate to have a man like Ross by your side. From what I can tell, you deserve each other. :)
