You might be cursing me as a hypocrite when I say this," Now I like it when age catches up on me" simply because no one wants to be old,everyone seems to be saying,"How nice if I were to be in my twenties,thirties " So bear with me and let me share this with you....................
Just a fortnight ago, my lovely wife was under tremendous pressure as far as her work was concerned,she sent me a SMS telling me that she was on the verge of crying out loud and her pressure lasted about two days straight,the pressure was intense, could see it on her face.
I suddenly felt so hopeless on how to help her to alleviate her stress and malaise as far as her work was concerned,I could not do anything but then again, I knew I just had to do something about it,so as soon as I got back home, I did up the house nicely,the floor was spanking clean,clothes ironed and others chores almost done up.
I could not sleep well that night cos I knew she could not too and when it was about 2.30 am, I saw a shimmering light coming out from the master, I took a peek and saw her still on her "notebook" corresponding with her overseas colleagues. I waited till she was done and I said to her "girl,let me give you a massage just to get you a nice sleep" and glad that I did and it was already 3.30 am.
You see,if I was younger, I would not have known how to love more,care more and sacrifice more, so as age catches up on me, I've learned to love more, give more, care more and forgive more.........and as I do that(give more, care more and love more) I would learn to become a better husband and a nicer father.
So now, I begin to love my receding hairline more cos along with it for every strand of hair that drops, there is a certain amount of love building up in me.............
Thanks for listening
P/S : Age gives me more reasons to love more
Thanks to you being a blogger I can learn from your experience too =)
ReplyDeleteSometimes I really dont know what to do when a girl is all stress up, and all you want is just to cheer her up.
Thanks again Eugene =)
Yes, speaking from your experience can help a lot of men here.. and of course ladies will understand men better in your posts...
ReplyDeleteby the way, my girl gave me a good shoulder massage last night.. so good that it still feels painful on my shoulder this morning.. hahahaa...
I like this post. U r so true. As we grow, we tend to think differently and learn along the way. I could feel I'm different too, from single and now a mother of 2. I tend to love more and care more. U r really a great husband and father.
ReplyDeleteGood for you Eugene.
ReplyDeleteHave a nice Thursday~
Hi bro...totally agreed with you. My wife is also under constant pressure with her work and I too am glad that I'm older now cause I have learnt to value family more in my life now as compared to our younger years......
ReplyDeleteAs we grow elder we get wiser. Your wife is a lucky woman to have a loving husband. But you are lucky too because you have a women like her as your wife. Thanks for sharing bro.
ReplyDeleteThis story reminds me of my own problems too. It is the other way, where hubby under pressure and sometimes wake up in middle of the night, thinking about work and pressure that he could not sleep. He would wake me up and how sleepy i am, i will try to stay awake and listen to his ranting. It feels great for him after the small chat. we hardly have much times to talk with the kids around.
ReplyDeleteI believe when age is increasing, our maturity level increases too. I like young and fit body (like in the twenties); and I like wiser mind.
ReplyDeleteThanks for sharing Eugene! I believe you are sharing the love of Christ and following His command to husband to "love your wife". Godbless you and your family. Send my love to your wife ;)
ReplyDeleteA year older is a year wiser, otherwise we are just wasting the time. Eugene, keep it up, you are doing very well now.
ReplyDeleteThat's why some women prefer experienced men. :-)
