Grateful for unconditional understanding

I could name a million things as to why I am so grateful for my husband and I am pretty sure that over time I will share many of them with you, but this past week, I was reminded again how understanding he is. To say that I am unconditionally loved is an understatement.

I have screwed up many times over the 12 years that we have known each other. Probably the worst was two weeks before our wedding. I won't go in to details, but let's just say it included me getting us kicked out a MSU football game and losing my cell phone and credit card (alcohol was involved). I was pretty sure the next morning when we woke up he was going to leave. I woke up first staying completely still, not wanting to wake him up, so afraid of what might happen in the aftermath. And when he woke up, he rolled over and hugged me. All of my fears disappeared and I knew how unconditionally loved I was. 

Now, this past week, I did nothing like that. It was not nearly as bad, but it still reminded me that Bob is just such an understanding guy and he knows what is important. 

Last Friday, I was out and about with the kids using our double stroller. I went shopping, got what I needed, and went home. Three days later, I went out again and at the store, realized the double stroller was not in the car. I thought my husband must have taken it out at some point. Oh well. 

Well, that wasn't the case. It seems that in my rush the past Friday, I put both kids in the car, but the double stroller did not make it. I left it on the sidewalk. And of course, did not realize it till 5 days later. Yep, I am rock star. 

Bob's reaction: It's replaceable. 

Unconditional love and understanding. 

Thank goodness it was a garage-sale find and we are not out $500 or more. But we now have to find another double stroller. Yeah us. Let the search begin. 

Good-bye stroller. You are replaceable.

  1. That is exactly how I felt when I realized what happened. My attempts to find it have been unsuccessful. We are in Michigan. Luckily we do have 2 single strollers, so we are OK for a little while to find another one. Just so annoying and more annoying knowing that I am the one who lost it.

  2. Ohhh...that sucks...maybe I should consider doing that, simply because I really hate our double stroller...what kind did you have?

  3. It was just a Pep Perego Aria 50/50. It was old, but it actually was pretty good for how light weight it was, which is what I liked about it. Not sure what we are going to go for now. Not sure if I am sold on the sit-and-stand strollers. What do you have that stinks? (Just so I don't get that one.)

  4. We have the Graco double stroller. Big, but I lived that it was single filed style and it has tons of storage.
