Yesterday, I watched another Dr. Phil episode, (yes, againJ!) The last one I caught had a woman on it who was so fearful that she was going to be attacked in her own home that her family had spent over $16,000 on home security. The thing that caught my attention though, was not the fact that she had an out of control phobia, it was her husband.
How he loved her! When he was asked questions about his wife, he told Dr. Phil that he felt like a failure, because he could not make his wife feel protected. He actually had to pause, because he got tears over the fact that he felt like he was not doing his job. He wanted to protect his wife and make her feel safe, but nothing he had done had been successful.
He was doing all he could for her. Her phobia was out of his control and yet, he felt like he was at fault.
It was such a sweet thing. It made me think of my husband, and the men in my life, who care so much about their families.
So many men go through such lengths to love, protect and provide for their families.
They endure so much stress. Especially during times like this, when so many companies have been forced to close their doors or have had to layoff employees. Times are tough. Luckily, our men are too, but this husband was a reminder that sometimes they are not as tough, as they let on.
Men take it hard when they are not able to provide everything they would like to for their families.
It is so important for us wives and mothers, to not only be supportive during the difficult times, but also to be appreciative and remember, that our men always provide us with the most important thing they can - love.
A tender moment between my brother & his daughter

Just another day to be thankful...
Happy Friday friends!
