not that guy

as we sat on the sofa and watched our movie

my husband says he's "not that guy"

but

after spending valentines morning at his men's group

and then the afternoon paying bills...

he walked into my studio, with a whole pile of paper work for me to now address...

my business /checking account statement which somehow was in our pile of bills

my insurance card that needed put in my car

could i check on the phone/internet account...it's gone up again, is there a better program out there?!?

a flyer for tickets to the 2009 summer season musical theater performances

with the hint that his favorite stage show was playing right around our anniversary?!?!

AND

an envelope that he had written my name on

this is what he wrote

From day one

I have taken you in my arms

and I love you

and I prefer you to my life itself

For the present life is nothing

and my most ardent dream is to spend it with you in such a way

that we may be assured of not being separated in the life reserved for us

I place your love above all things

and nothing would be more bitter or painful to me than

to be of a different mind than you

(St. John Chrysostom)

so what if he isn't that guy

or a saint

he so definitely gets it!?!?
