I know what love is!

[I have WHAT in my yard?]

That's it exactly Bammony! Our society doesn't tell us how to recognize love - especially the kind of love men show.

I know there are young women on this board! Pay attention girls!

I know, I know, I got the last great man

But there are some pretty good ones still out there ---- aren't there guys?!

Looks like there are quiet a few good ones. I'm glad I got one! (I see the single ladies circling my house like vultures

)

Your post brought tears to my eyes. I too have a hubby like that. We don't really do the whole Valentines thing...waste of money and time. I would rather have him safe at home with me and the kids, than out shopping for some useless stuffed animal or fattening candy!

After working in the freezing cold most of yesterday, DH gets home at 7:30pm. Changes into some warm clothes, reheats his dinner and watches tv while he eats....I am sure he can't wait to go to bed. Around 8, he notices I am worried about my bantams and juvies being in the frigid minus temps during the night, because I am heading out to gather 5 of the tiniest ones and bring them into the house. He hurries up and changes, grabs his coat and comes out to join me in the big coop...which despite a space heater and 2 heat lamps, we can still see our breath in. He brainstorms with me and we decide to bring the bantams into the big coop. He stayed out there and helped me carry 17 bantams, from their coop to the big one. Each time I changed my mind about where they should go, he would go in and move one or pick one up and put it with its friends to huddle with. The chickens are my thing and I usually take care of them....but if I need help building something, want new ones, worried about them, whatever...he is right there by my side with help, money or input. Nothing he could ever buy me could even begin to show that kind of love.

I'm right there with you girl!

It most definitely a HUGE blessing to be able to stay at home in the warm, while your husband heads out to support you and your family. A very HUGE blessing indeed!

I so agree! I am thankful each and everyday!

I've got one who is still young but I bet he will get there some day! He is very thoughtful and loves to get me gifts- which is nice but unnecessary for sure! His father was not a very good example, luckily mine is doing his best to show him "the way"

We are all such lucky women.

So true! I can't remember each time my husband has bought me flowers, but I have memories to numerous to list of the thoughtful and caring things he does. I will take those any day over flowers.....​

You're right, IHWIMY - That IS love.

Enjoy it. Recognize it. Reward it.

My husband didn't get home from work last night until 4:30 this morning after working a double shift and where is he right now at 10am? Out picking up my incubator that I scored on craigslist.
I woke up at 8am this morning and he was already out of bed, can you believe it? I don't know how he goes on.

He has been there for over 9 years, when we had our first baby and I had horrible post partum depression and I couldn't get out of my own way, let alone take care of the baby, there he was every night after working all day, getting up with the baby. Taking care of him and me.
He's always there to take care of me even when I know he's dying of exhustion.
He's always trying to make my day easier. So far this winter I haven't had to drag water out to the coop once, him and my son do it everyday without complaint because he knows the cold makes my joints lock up (I have Chronic Lyme Disease).
He'll come home after working all day and take my dogs out if they need to go or immeadiately ask what chores need to be done for the evening the moment he walks through the door.

He is amazing. He is my rock. He keeps me sane. I live just to wake up every morning and look into those big brown eyes. He also makes a great heat rock in the middle of the winter and never complains when I stick my cold feet on him to warm up in bed

I can't wait until we're all old and wrinkly like rasins together, sitting in rocking chairs on a front porch somewhere holding hands....

*points to signature line*... THAT is my hubby and I....

- one soul.. two bodies.

He gets up at 4:00 every morning - leaves by 5:15 - drives 1.5 hours to work one way - puts up with so much BS at work, but still calls me each and every day (a few times a day) to say I love you, or just to see how I'm feeling. I got very very sick when I was 27 (12 years ago) and have been ever since and he stood beside me every step of the way - not many men would (or men that I've met anyway). He's a wonderful father, a terrific friend to all that know him and would give you the shirt off his back and last dollar in his pocket if you needed it. He calls his mom every morning on his way to work (and his grandmom and sister as well) and then calls his mom at night each night to say goodnight and see how her day was (I too do this with my mom) - he appreciates women and holds them high - and he loves me with every breath in his body. We've been to hell and back - spiritually, physically and financially - but through it all - we're still here, side by side.

He's my mountain, my strength, my best friend and soul mate - and I thank God for him each and every day.

Now I'm crying...LOL I have a wonderful man...
