So there is this book called The Five Love Languages which was recommended to me a long time ago (when, I might add, I was very single). It talks about the five ways people show their love:
1. Time
2. Touch
3. Gifts
4. Service
5. Words of Affirmation
Everyone has their own language, which I believe can be a combination of the above, and while you may show your love one way, the one you love might speak a different language so you need to be aware of what their's is...Eric shows his love by giving time and service. I am acutely aware of this right now as he is picking up the slack in many areas of our home life as his sleep deprived and slightly postpartum crazy wife is trying to pull it together. (He is also fluent in the 6th love language, teasing, which can drive us all crazy, but we all know that...)
Words of Affirmation are totally not Eric's style, but I wanted to cover all my bases.
What are the words to that song? "Grow old along with me, The best is yet to be..." So far they have proved to be correct. Who knew that what started with a "day date" and a Red Sox game where 3 was a crowd (wink wink) would have produced four very happy years and two beautiful babes?
Here is to the adventure that is yet to be...
