Down and Out

This evening I crawled into bed with Big Red, as we do nightly and talk about our days. Tonight was different. I've had a hard week and have been feeling particularly down about myself. I proceeded to pour my soul out to him about what I've been feeling and why. He just laid there and listened. No judgement passed, just listened. He made me feel better about our (my) situation. He let me know that nothing is more important to him than my happiness. Then he just held me. All of the sudden, nothing else mattered.

And that... means everything to me.
