I had gone to bed alone again as my husband has been either sleeping in the guest room or on the couch the last few weeks.  It was hot and I was having a hard time sleeping when around 12:30 I heard the bedroom door open and he came in.  I asked if he would like to come to bed and he crawled in.  He asked me if he could hold me and I rolled over where he gently caressed my shoulder.  I said this is very nice to which he agreed.  A little while later he said to me that he was sorry and we need to be kind to each other because I am the only one who is there for him.  I prayed we could go to sleep which we did and both slept well until the cat had other plans at 6:00am.  He's a little snarky this morning but much better then most.  When we are having a bad day I will think back to last night with some comfort in my heart.

    We need to hold onto those precious moments. For me they are few and far between these days.

    That does sound beautiful, and a wonderful memory to hold on to.
