Frank, funny you should mention this. Last night I took Tawny school shopping for her list of supplies. This is the first time I have ever been the one to do this. In the past, Carrie always handled this for the kids.
Afterwards I was quite exhausted and overwhelmed from all the "stuff" that is neccessary for them for school. Carrie and I agreed to send each other $ totals and split down the middle so I texted her the amount. After that text, I sent her another one, it said:
If I never told you before, I really appreciate that you always took cxare of this on your own for the kids and never until tonight realized how much work it was. Thank you for always doing for our kids.
She sent me back a thank you and goodnight text. The thing was, I didn't send it for that reason, I sent it because I was suddenly aware that I never appreciated it back then and now I do and wanted her to know it. Hell, I fealt like she deserved to know it. It doesn't matter that I cannot stand her right now, I became aware of something I appreciated and let her know it, simple enough.
