Recently came out of our family doctor's office at about 2:00, very hungry.
My wife had a podiatrist visit earlier. She doesn't eat breakfast, so I figured she would have already eaten lunch. I called her, and she had just settled in one of our favorite restaurants about 30 miles away.
"Have you eaten?" she asked.
"No, just leaving doctor's office."
"Do you want to come here?"
"You must be very hungry."
"I'll wait for you."
"I'm coming."
On the way, I got to thinking.
I have been married to this woman for 46 years.
Although I am very hungry, I'm driving 30 miles to eat with her.
Although she hasn't even had breakfast, she is waiting to eat with me.
Being retired, we see each other many hours every day. Yet we will both delay eating to be together a little longer today.
And I thought, "Dang, that's pretty nice."
