(ILMHB) He Takes Care of Me

I love my husband because he takes care of me when I’m sick, or in pain, and every other day.

Currently I’m sick for the second time in the past three weeks.  My husband has taken care of me both times, making sure that I have plenty of tissues and medicine, taking me to the doctor, making me soup, and overall just babying me and showering me with TLC.

I have a health condition known as Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy, which is the big fancy way of saying that I have nerve damage in my legs as a complication from Insulin Dependant Diabetes that I’ve had for 20 years now.  The neuropathy causes me a great deal of pain in my legs.  My husband massages my legs almost every day because it temporarily lessens the pain a little.

Overall my husband just takes great care of me, every single day, and I love him so much for it.

I Love My Husband Because (ILMHB) He Makes Me Feel Beautiful

There are so many reasons why I love my husband, so I figured that I would share some of the reasons with all of you in a sweet little blog series that I will call “I Love My Husband Because…” (ILMHB).  So, here it goes…

I love my husband because he calls me beautiful.  Not only does he call me beautiful, but he makes me feel that I am, and he actually means it from the bottom of his heart! I remember after only a few days of knowing each other he told me for the first time that I was beautiful.  He’s told me that many times since then, but that time will always be the most special because not only was it my first time hearing these words from him, but it was also my first time hearing them from anyone besides family.  I remember I started crying when he told me, and I told him that he was the first person to tell me that and how much it meant for him to say these words.

I’ve always struggled with low self-esteem, and the way I see myself in the mirror has so much to do with that.  I’ve never been the prettiest or thinnest girl, and I’ve had some people in my past that made sure that I knew it.  My husband has spent the past seven years that we’ve been together trying to get me to see myself how he sees me, and while I still don’t see myself that way, I have no doubt in my mind that he means it completely, and I love him so much for that.
