I woke in the middle of the night with the pain of yet another tummy bug lying in my stomach. This morning I complained to James that I had picked up yet another one somehow! He sighed and pulled me closer, saying "you're not made for this". This meaning living in a developing country where these things are easier to pick up.
Then he said "but we are made for each other" and drifted back off to sleep. My tummy bug didn't seem quite so bad anymore. A remark like that can brighten any day.

Ugh. Waking up sick is never fun. I hope you feel better soon!
ReplyDeleteI'm curious... what does James do that took him to Africa (I guess I'm assuming he's originally from somewhere else, but maybe he's not...)? Is there a chance that his job might take him to a developed country?
So. Freaking. Cute.
ReplyDeleteAnd I know the feeling. I was flipping out about my first date in YEARS and then the boy said the exact perfect thing and all was right again with my world. :-)
It's the little things that count!
ReplyDeleteAnd Jenn, yes,he should be posted to a developed country at some point(please God!) - he works for the government of our home country.
