"you know a man is a REAL man..."
 
   WHEN HE.....


• opens the door for you
• allows you to exit the elevator first
• pumps your gas, even if you are the one driving
• checks your car when he knows you are going on a long trip.
• asks the Lord to please you, for preparing the meal, at dinnertime.
• has seen you giving birth and still thinks you are beautiful.
• doesn't mind walking around the house with princess tiara & jewelry on.


OK NOW YOUR TURN!

This was my effort To post more. ONE DAY DOWN!

   ...his face lights up when you walk into the room
...holds your hand when you walk together
...gets up with you for the middle of the night baby feeding and diaper changes
...tells you that you are beautiful, even if you aren't...and really means it

   I was pretty lucky. He died six years ago (in September) after a long illness.

Enjoy this time! I know you won't take it for granted.

   It is actually very liberating to be able to talk about him. There are some people in my life that have tried to push me to 'move forward' before I was ready. Didn't work....I'm stubborn and grief is such an individual experience.

It seems to be human nature to assume that there will always be time. It is both a blessing and a curse to be told in no uncertain terms that your time together is finite. I know that I took it for granted that we would grow old together.

I worry most about our son. He as 12 when his father was diagnosed with cancer and 15 when his dad died. He is now 21. A sweet, loving young man who feels that he has to take care of me. Attends college (without a true goal)...

   Elena, I am so sorry for your loss. To have the kind of love that it appears you had with your husband is truly a blessing. It is good that you recognize that you are not being stubborn in your grief...you will move on when you are ready.

* when he surprises you with a puppy you've been wishing for, even thou he said he hates animals and he'll never have one
* when he takes your puppy for a walk when your back hurt
* when he buys you a romance novel just because he thought it'll make you happy
* when he gives you the last Oreo in the box
* when he bathes you, dries you and puts you to bed after you've got waisted at your friend's wedding

   - when he wears tight, plaid shirts (cowboy style), cause he knows you love it, although he's more the t-shirt kind of guy.

- when he brings you whey from the nearby dairy farm, although he thinks it's disgusting.

- when he lets you fall asleep on the couch and tucks the kid in bed, including the teeth brushing, dressing and good night story. Plus, he will sing a lovely tune for the kid to fall asleep, but he's doing it quietly cause he is ashamed to sing aloud and hopes you won't hear it.

- when he drinks the organic lemonade you bring, cause you think it's better for him to consume less sugar (and he totally thinks that's crap).

- when he saves all the money he can for the kitchen renovation you want so badly, although he does only have one pair of jeans, which has no hole in the right knee (why is it always the right knee?)

- when he suddenly turns all protective and pure male as soon as he sees his beloved in danger.

- when he uses some pretty potty mouthed language in bed (at least, I like it *verydirtygrin*)

Aw, he's a keeper! Don't you think?

   he has dinner waiting for you after you spent 11 hours at the office

he holds your hand entering with the throngs of people at the stadium because he knows you don't like crowds

although he doesn't have any children of his own, he plays yard darts with the neighborhood kids at the black party and high-fives the little ones after each "successful" toss

   ~when he gets a tattoo, even though he hates them, because you think they're sexy

~when he let's you go on girls-only vacations even though he misses you and would rather you spent the week with him.

~when he can take apart, fix, and put back together ANYTHING.

~when he watches Jane Austen movies with you when he'd rather do anything but watch a Jane Austen movie.

~when he still loves you exuberantly after being together nearly seventeen years.

*When he blows off the gift spending limit you set for each other because "That wouldn't buy everything I wanted to get for you."

*When he spends endless hours before a family vacation checking and double checking everything on the vehicles so he knows he has done everything in his power to keep his family safe.

*When he takes your school age daughter to school EVERY day just because he knows it makes less work for you even though you are a stay at home mom.

*When he acknowledges and tells you how much he appreciates that you have spent over 2 1/2 years of your life breastfeeding the children even though it means the babies have been with you 24/7 their entire infancies.

*When he sighs over dinner and says "No one cooks food as good as you." And means it!

   These were so great to read...

I get accused of day dreaming about the men in our novels....
so, I thought it would be nice to reflect on how great our REAL men are.

and from the sounds of it we all have some really great men!
