And when something incredibly crazy happens we might all look up and say that he would have done something like that. Even the loss of the shed and having to pay for some of the work that had to be done to restore power to the neighborhood could not keep my son from laughing at the whole unbelievable scenario. But that was the man I married.Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-12257503926808486042014-03-22T13:40:24.341-05:002014-03-22T13:40:24.341-05:00It is obvious that you had a lot of admiration and...It is obvious that you had a lot of admiration and love for your husband, Emma. However, it is very obvious from reading the incidents you recounted in this,post, that it must also have been a very tough love, at times. I was glad to read that his temper never resulted in any physical abuse, as so often happens when drinking is involved. Too bad about the downed power line and the loss of the storage shed.

My husband was a remarkable person but I could be just as angry with him as anyone else. And I think he was able to "push my buttons" in a way that no one else could. But I see so many of his good qualities in my children. How could I not be fond of him for that?Emma Springfieldhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10543689047463574012noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3061832609518891075.post-20309031543354598712014-03-19T01:57:30.758-05:002014-03-19T01:57:30.758-05:00Yours is a truly loving and generous spirit.
