We had an interesting night to say the least...Dan took S6 to karate, his parents went to watch for the first time. Then they all came back to our place for dinner. I made an effort on dinner, put out a nice tablecloth, set the table before they came, made a nice dinner, coffee for his parents, etc. etc. His parents were very pleased and I think H was, too.
Then after kids were in bed, I was folding laundry and found "The Notebook" on a cable channel. Had heard good things...H came in from cleaning out his truck, sat down, started watching it with me.
If you haven't seen it, it is ALL about love, dedication, commitment, 'fairy-tale love'--the man's wife has alzheimer's and he reads them their true life story from a notebook, his kids tell him to let her go b/c she doesn't know him anymore, he says he will never leave her, she is is family, his home...
Suffice it to say we were both bawling at several moments in the story. Dan cried like I couldn't believe. There was one spot I loved where the young version of the couple were in an argument as she decided whether to stay w/him or go w/someone else. He told her she was a pain in the ass most of the time, that being with her would require work every day for the rest of his life, but it was worth it bc he WANTED her....
Anyway when it was over and we were both bawling I told H that was how I always wanted it to be with him, that was how I felt,and I truly wanted him to have that, too....H was just crying and nodding his head and hugged me...
