My husband sometimes surprises me, like today at church. Every Mother's Day, mothers of the congregation are given a carnation by each of their children. When the time came, my daughter went up to the front with all the other adult children to get a flower for me. At the same time, my husband went up (his own mother passed away many years ago.)
I asked him, "Where are you going?"
"I'm going to get a flower for you," he said.
"Why? I'm not your mother."
"It will be from Brian," he said. He turned and walked up to the front and I just melted into tears. My son, Brian, is away from home, training with the Marine Corps and I had been missing him. My husband sweetly and thoughtfully stood in for him today.
Makes me glad I stuck with him these 21 years.
