thank you for having “cojones”

I’m not perfect. Obviously.

One thing I love – and fully appreciate – is Rich’s ability to tell me when I’m being petty or …revengeful.. or immature or jealous or slightly selfish or whatever. lol. Granted, this doesn’t happen all that often, :P. But probably when any other person would have told me these things I would be, honestly, offended and probably angry. However, Rich has this way of telling me things  – fully in love and way respectfully – that maybe there’s another way to look at a situation. Sometimes, I think I let my emotions about a situation or person ‘color’ the way I think about and respond to a situation. Rich is so laid back and he’s just like "this is just a drop of water" and it’s not going to really matter in the grand scheme of things. He is able to help me decide how to respond to a person or situation in a better way, but still understands – and doesn’t discount – why I feel the way I do. I like that he listens to my rant about things that aren’t really that important and my crazy-ish schemes and ideas and then laughs and tells me a better way to go about things and reminds me that I really don’t want to be that kind of person. I like that he doesn’t think or brag that he has ‘better’ ideas than I do but that together we can figure out better ideas. Rich makes it easier to be a grown up.

I miss him as my husband and as everything he is to me. But right now especially, I miss him as my best friend.
