honesty

paul said, I don't know. it sounds bad but, you know, you make it easy for me to leave.

It had always been a concern for me why I am not so emotional over his departure. If I loved him so much shouldn't I feel more upset? my husband opened my eyes when he said this to me. Love isn't measured by how upset I get for my husband doing his job. love isn't measured by how much I 'sacrifice' myself for making his job easier for him. Love is measured by honesty. If I was being upset and making it hard for him to go, I know he would have told me that, as much as I would tell him that I did not want him to go.

even after knowing each other for 16 years and being married for 5, each day is full of new discoveries.
