An apology!

For the first time ever in our eleven years of marriage, Hyde apologized. This happened last night, before the wonderful sermon we heard today on relationships.(Hyde slept through part of it sadly. Even with the positives going on, that still bugs me but on a completely different level. I worry what it teaches ShortStuff but more importantly about how it appears to God. I have to leave that to God though. Obviously.)

By the way, if that preacher ever reads this, THANK YOU for a great message from God's word. It was very encouraging not only in regards to the husband-wife relationship but to how we should treat everyone. (Well not the part about, ahem, private time together. That would lead to a whole nother sermon.)

And it was unprompted by my saying something subtle like “you owe me an apology” or my stomping out all mad or upset!

We had been talking about buying a computer off and on for a while. I was online looking at Dells and was asking him questions every now and then. At one point he said something like I need to do some reading and can’t concentrate with you talking. I said okay and a few minutes later decided to take a bath.

When I came out he said hey I’m sorry I didn’t mean to snap at you. You can do lots of things at once and still concentrate on what you are reading but I can’t.

I was flabbergasted. I mean this coming from someone who has never offered a sincere apology even though he's spit on me, dented my car by kicking it out of anger at me, punched so many holes, destroyed so many of my things, called me every possible name imaginable and then some and well I could go on but you get the point. Wow! That’s all I can say.
