What Real Love Is...

While Jeffrey and I went to bed last night, we were talking about our anniversary. I was thanking him for all he's done for me over the years, all he's put up with (all my surgeries and health problems). I often feel inadequate because of my health problems and all the "evidence" of them- scars, bruises, etc... So laying in bed last night I said "I'm sorry you couldn't have married a Barbie." And Jeff replied "I did marry a Barbie... just not a healthy one." I told him I really did feel bad that I'm not as pretty as other girls (for his sake, not mine) and that I am not as great at being a wife because I have so many restrictions. He quietly replied "Oh, Sarah... you don't have enough confidence. You are a very sweet person." My eyes filled with (happy) tears. I closed my eyes (mostly so Jeff didn't know he made me cry) and fell asleep next to my wonderful husband.
