5 More Ways My Husband Says I Love You

by Lehua Parker

February 13, 2013

fallsHappy Valentine’s Day! In keeping with my tradition, here are five more ways my husband says I love you.

1)  Just letting you know I’m taking the kids to school since they missed the bus.

2)  I’m driving through town on my way home. Need anything from the store?

3)  I washed a load of whites.

4)  Those clothes are looking really baggy on you.

5)  Let me carry all those new books out to the car.

How ‘bout your significant other? How does the person you love tell you you’re loved?

    Sweet post, Lehua. You’re blessed to have a husband who expresses his love for you in so many different ways. My husband made me a wooden cutting board. Spent his Saturday doing it when he could have just relaxed. What a sweetie.

      We’re both blessed, Elsie.

Empty Closets and New Beginnings

For a while now, my style has been best described as tropical middle-aged frump with a side of at-least-I'm-not-naked--a.k.a. old fut titah-rella with shoes. But there was a time when I wore smart business attire, cocktail dresses, and even formal wear. I've kept all...
