lucky.

Let me set the scene for you. I was laying in bed, sobbing and feeling sorry for myself and Mr. O...that he's stuck with a wife who hasn't contributed for over a year. I had snot and tears running down my face, landing all over the bed...all over the pretty, spring sheet set I had just washed and placed a few days ago. I kept thinking in my mind, I can't believe it's May.

Mr. O was watching sports in the family room, and I was trying to keep quiet in the bedroom. My quiet tears turned into the ugly crying, the crying where you can't breathe and you start gasping for air. I obviously couldn't hide it anymore.

Mr. O came in and started to pet my head...because he knows that makes me feel better. And then the conversation went like this:

mr. o: I think I'm the luckiest man. Do you know why?

me: [looking up at him, shaking my head]

mr. o: Because I found someone who loves me the most in this world. Right?

me: [nodding like a child, up and down, up and down]

mr. o: And no amount of money can replace that. Do you know what that makes me?

me: N-n-nnn-no...

mr. o: That makes me the richest guy in the world...
