I've been following the "what to do" thread in FH&H, and today I saw this post that you wrote:
I've been struggling with a bit of cold feet as of late, and what you wrote just made all of "what truly matters" rush back to me. Your posts are always helpful (sometimes comic relief, sometimes much-needed insight) but I just had to thank you for writing that... even though it was in no way directed towards me.
Thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you.
Your words struck SUCH a chord with me. I didn't want to post this on that thread because I thought it would be counter-productive to the OP's plight... but I had to tell you how much that one post has impacted me today.Date: 11/7/2007 2:50:33 PM

I had car trouble yesterday. I am a member of AAA but my husband wouldn't hear of my calling them. He dropped what he was doing...canceled all his meetings...and within 30 minutes he was at my side. It was the coldest day of our year so far, and as I sat in his car warmed by the heater...he was out in the cold front winds taking the blast for me.
I watched his face as the cold wind blasted his. His eyes were watering from the frigid air. I knew there were many other places he would rather be. But at that moment I knew...under my car hood was where he was supposed to be.
I thought of your dilemma...and I pondered if I had the same information what I would do with it. I watched him grimace...the cold getting colder. No doubt in my mind...I would press the delete button.
So I write one more entry to encourage you and support your marriage. My encouraging posts/view are a minority in this thread, so I will refrain from any more. Maybe they have been enough to help...just a little.
