Just an Orange ~
My wife has a bad cold. Is in bed. Yesterday I peeled an orange for her. In the course of the day she mentioned to me, three times, how moved she was by that gesture.
No, I did more than just peel an orange. The thing about the orange is this: my wife knows that I don't care so much for oranges because I don't like to peel them. So whenever I did eat one she would always peel it for me.
In a way it was a very deep gesture speaking the silence of the heart. When I do similiar there's always (1)something on the mind,(2)something on the mind, (3)something on the mind. BMc
Was that the extent of your help? Don't you treat your wife right?
