In sickness and in health

I have had a terrible summer cold plus a fever since Friday....yuck! Well, this isn't the first time I've been sick since we got married but I think it feels worse because I am working now and cannot really rest like I would like. So, here I am, feelin' crappy and, truth be told, really starting to miss my mom when my honey swoops in and makes everything better. Here's what happened: we got into bed and I was feeling physically gross and emotionally vulnerable and alone and then I felt Chris snuggle up behind me and put his arm around me and suddenly I felt completely better( at least, emotionally). This was a really special act that really let me know that was there for me because he does not like to cuddle when we're going to sleep because he can't sleep unless he can move freely but, for me, physical touch is one of the primary ways that I communicate love so what he did really meant a lot to me. He is so wonderful and I love him soooo much! I am really enjoying learning things like that about each other this first year.
