In Sickness & Health

Myself (31F) and both of my kids (3M, 5F) have the flu. I thought I was on the mend like my son, but now I have laryngitis and a junky cough. I’ve also been taking care of our daughter the last 2 days who seems to be having a rough course as well. I have an abundance of sick time at my job and my husband has none.

I really want chicken noodle soup for dinner. I just walked into the kitchen to find my husband (38M) pulling his sourdough starter out. I asked (whispered) “What are you making?”. He says “crackers for your soup”.

We have crackers in the pantry. I know he knows this because he brought both myself & my daughter soup & crackers yesterday for lunch while we snuggled on the couch. But yet, he’s making me homemade crackers.

Sometimes love is a snuggle, or words of affirmation, or an extravagant date. Sometimes it’s homemade crackers.
