Behind every woman, is a GOOD man

I have come to realize that I have blogged about myself, my children and grandchildren but not really my SO. His name is Gary. He is 46. He is a good man. He took care of me all through my breast cancer treatment but even before that I had a lumbar spinal fusion and he cared for me 24/7. Every morning he brings me my coffee to my little office here, then a little later he brings all my meds, then my breakfast. He doesn't allow me to do any house work, but lately I have been helping with dinner and I fix lunches. He told me s soon as I get my strength back that I can gradually get back into that stuff. We are going to start walking because I have been off work for a year and not very active, so we are going to start slow. He said he will be behind me every step of the way.

He has a bad back himself and some nights he can barely move but he refuses to let me take care of him as he struggles to take care of me. His hobby is music, specifically Grateful Dead music. He has burnt probably 4,000 CD's or so.

He's a very good shopper. He finds the sales, he is careful with prices. So he does the majority of the shopping.

He has talked me into trying so many things I never would have in Pennsylvania like Sushi. The first place he took me was the Yin Yang Cafe in Annapolis. I just tried some of the roles (California roll, New York roll ya know the easy stuff). Then my next trip for Sushi was Joss's in Annapolis and he had me try som of the raw stuff so I had raw fish, it was delicious. Then he made it at home with his 2 hands....YUM. Anyhow I kinda got off track there, cuz I love Sushi. lol What I wanted to tell you is he cooks, and man can he cook. He is so good on the grill. His baby back ribs are to die for...they just fall off the bone. He makes a marinated pulled pork for sandwiches like no other I have tasted. He's amazing in the kitchen.

There is not really anything I can complain about except sometimes he doesn't put his dishes in the dishwasher, he just sets them in the sink. lol But I can overlook that because he makes me so happy and when he takes me in his arms and tells me he loves me and tells me everything will be alright. I feel safe and I actually start to believe it. I love him more than I knew I could love someone. I hope you all find someone like Gary in your lives. It's a great and safe feeling!!
