Getting together with hubby these days has turned into a real treat. Before I had to go stay with mother I think I was taking a lot of what he does for us for granted. I do not mean to but it slips up on my part more than it should.
I came over to have lunch with his today. He grilled some boneless and skinless chicken thighs and cooked up a batch of fried green tomatoes. I do not think I could ever take his cooking for granted.
He did not get mad because I posted about his health issues. I was afraid he would but he said it was not worth getting upset over. I think he is starting to grow up.
After lunch he drove me to Dillards and Pennys just so we could be together a little longer. Times like today make me realize how much I miss him. I could not imagine my life without him.

So glad you two got to spend some time together. I know you're torn between taking care of your mother and being with Joe.

I think it can be nice if they can take care of the mother together, if the husband can do that.
They will not have to miss each other, and taking care of the mother will be easier.

That is so sweet of you to appreciate your husband and what he does for you.
I can see that you love him and that's what is important.
Even if I don't like my father, I know he does a lot for me, he manages assets that he bought, so I won't have to worry about money in the future. He sometimes makes a dinner, a salad, tahini...
What I need from him is just to be nicer and not judging. I try to keep some distance from him and help him when he needs help. But, I wish he was just nice, lazy and not so smart, I would like just to have fun with him and not to worry about his expectations from me.

It's nice that you were able to spend time together today. It must be very hard being torn between Joe and your moms needs. I've been there and it isn't easy.

It must be very hard to be living apart so much but one can tell how much the two of you love and respect each other in your posts.

Aw, how sweet. Sometimes it is too easy to take our closest loved ones for granted. I guess it is a natural thing to do, But as long as we realize it, and fix it, then everything will be okay.

It's good to be able to spend more time with our loved ones. You must be torn between your mothers needs and your desire to be with Uncle Joe. Having been a caregiver I have some understanding of how you might be torn.
Aren't we both lucky to have helpful, understanding husbands.
