Five Minute Friday: Comfort

Unscripted. Unedited. Real."

Prompt Word: Comfort

Calling and knowing he will pick up the phone. Knowing he will be there when I need him. Him holding me in his strong capable arms when trouble arises and I need to cry before putting myself back together to do battle. His strength lays in his ability to see me fall apart and put myself back together a million times in a moment and never judge me weak or incapable.

 His hand holding mine, conveying that he is there for me whatever I need. His smile reassuring me that things will be okay no matter what because he is there. The tender way he rubs my feet to make things tolerable and me comfortable about having to lay down give up some of my personal power and wait for others to make decisions.The way his head and hands rest on our child as we wait and wait and wait for the doctors to give us a verdict as to my health and baby’s. The kisses on my hands and temple to remind me he cares beyond words for me and this little family we will become.

The fierce knight he becomes when he knows I am being pushed beyond my limits. The moments I see that he cares on such a deep level and truly is willing to fight every battle I need him too, even if I never call him to action. His ability to support me simply by being near me. No word necessary, a touch, a look, a kiss, a comfort as we stand together is all of this. 

Love, without boundaries.

My dear and wonderful husband.
