I truly believe it is most often the little things that count - brief words of encouragment, offering some kind gesture to a stranger, a smile, little inexpensive (but loving and thoughtful) gifts. My husband is a master of so many of these little things. On our second date, he showed up at my front door with a bouquet of brightly colored gerber daiseys. The third date, he unloaded several grocery bags of fresh produce and fruit into my fridge (almost empty except for mustard, water, and coffee), explaining that "if I am going to spend much time here, we need some fresh food to eat". Ok, maybe that was just a matter of sheer survival. Nevertheless... it's the little things. Little things that showed he cared. As he does a couple of times a month, he returned from shopping with a bouquet of fresh cut tulips... beautiful red ones with yellow margins. He said, "You are the best wife and mom ever." For any guys out there who might be reading this, just know that he got BIG (actually HUGE) points for that ;-) ! Little things - the best of all!
