My NEW BFF

If you know anything, you know what BFF means..That is , Best Friends Forever.


My new BFF is The Milk Man.


We have never spent this much time alone together, I do mean never.


We lay around in the bed laughing and get under the covers at any hour of the day without feeling guilty that I should be doing some mundane chore .


He is slightly medicated and he talks more than usual .


We talk about our girls, the dog, lots of topics, he's just way more at ease these days.


Let's just say his stress level is real low right now. He is working, but not a lot.


It's almost like I have this secret glimpse of what life is going to be like when he retires.


We will be Best Friends.I know some of you are thinking ,but my husband IS my best friend.


We have just never been like that. We are friends, just not like your girl best friend. I confide and talk to him, but not about what dress I almost picked out at the mall kind of thing. HE never has been good at listening to that kind of girl stuff.


This morning at 3;30 he woke up and got me up to scratch his back. This is just so hilarious to me. He talked and talked, and I lay there wondering ,who is this man that is lying right here next to me? I wasn't even mad that he got me up because it is like being at a spend the night party with this really fun new friend .


God has a way of slowing you down. I think that is what he has done to us. It has been fun,but painful for him. I have loved being his nurse and friend. Of course , I want him to get well, but it has had it's postive moments.


Loving All of you from Home..

Robin, doesn't God work in mysterious ways? Through this trial you have stood right by your man's side. Now you've got a new BFF who will talk with you on a deeper level and ask you to scratch his back in the wee hours of the a.m. Do you think there is any chance ya'll will go get pedicures and then lunch at the River Nile? I now have hope for our retirement years!

Love, Lori
