A thing that made me cry this week...

I was going to work the other day and I reached for my favorite pair of glasses (I have a bunch of different ones I get for cheap off the Internet). To my dismay, the arm of my glasses fell off and I started sobbing. I wasn't sad cuz they broke. I can get another pair. But I'm sad because if my fiance was still here. He woulda fixed them for me.

When we first started dating and living together the same thing happened to my glasses while I was at work (it was my only pair at the time which is why I have so many and because I like fun colors lol!). I called my fiance about it and he told me he would get a glasses repair kit on his way home.

When we get home he tries to fix them for me but the kit doesn't have the right screw for the arm. Bummer! So you know what this man does? He drives to like 5 different stores to get 5 different kits and came home and tried every individual screw until one fit my glasses enough for me to wear them (Apparently the glasses I had needed a very SPECIFIC screw or else it wouldn't close right)

I felt so special in that moment because my whole life, my feelings and my needs had always been put last and he was the one who always put me first. Always went above and beyond for me. He really saw me and loved me anyway. He didn't just say that he loved me, he showed it...and I miss that. I miss knowing he had my back in the best way. He was my best friend, my partner ❤️
