So my mom had surgery (a hysterectomy) this past week and it was just absolutely amazing to see how my dad made sure that everything was taken care of. I know that is what husbands and wives are supposed to do but it was just very special to see it in action.
My parent have been married for 34 yrs and together for 36 yrs, I am one of five siblings and I'm the middle child, two of my siblings live out of state so they haven't been able to come visit yet, I had to work the morning of my mom went in but I was there as soon I got off, my baby sis had school and her SAT prep course to attend so she was unable to attend until later on that day. My dad was the one who took off for the rest of the week and was in the hospital from beginning to end. He even insisted in spending the night but my mom told him to go home He made sure she had everything, he took all her calls, directed everyone and even answered the doctor's questions when my mom was unable to.
I say all this to say, at the end of the day when the kids are all grown and living away from home, that spousal support is really something beautiful and special. To have that partner there for you through sickness and in health is truly amazing. Now I understand why the bible says that the husband (or wife) come before the children.
It also makes me wonder how do single people do it ?
