My husband was late from work again
My husband, Dan, was late from work again, which had become a regular occurrence. I missed him and our connection, so I decided to surprise him with his favorite dinner.
While preparing, I realized my phone was low on battery, so I drove to my mom’s house to grab my charger.
When I arrived, I froze—Dan’s shoes were by the door, and I heard strange noises coming from her bedroom.
I rushed to the bedroom and found Dan kneeling with a toolbox, fixing my mom’s bed frame while she laughed.
Dan explained he was helping her out with something small she had mentioned. I felt embarrassed for jumping to conclusions.
He apologized for not telling me, and I realized my fears were unfounded.
We returned home, had dinner, and reconnected. The evening reminded me how much we had to be thankful for and how important communication is in our relationship.
