{Y’all … we are doing Five Minute Friday IN REAL LIFE. There are at least fifty of us, or more, I can’t count, on the floor in a hotel, writing. I AM SO HAPPY. But a little sad, because there some necks I still want to hug that couldn’t make it. Anyway, the word is together.}
When we are together, most often we are silent. Spent from the day, from the living.
And then we are apart and I love this gift of a man even more who loves me silent.
He goes to train, he goes to war, he just goes to work and I want to call him and tell him a million times I love you because I can’t say it enough.
And I didn’t marry a man of a million words and so I get “love you too babe” and I keep on with the flowery and he keeps on with the loving, not just the saying.
And almost nine years and three kids and too many moves to count and long days and each minute I love him more, and I say it, and he shows it.
And we sink into the couch together. Silent, mostly. And I’m okay with that.

So true. Sometimes silent says more than a thousand words can. Love this, lady. Happy #FMFParty!
Visiting from Five Minute Friday….love your post…my man is mostly silent too. Silent is good and comfortable. Blessings!
I’m so glad you got to do FMF in person! Did you guys are tweet at each other like normal?? I’m also married to a man of few words- I totally get the “together” silent!
Ha. I couldn’t write, talk IRL, and tweet. Plus I am TERRIBLE at twitter anyway. I sooo wish you could have come … next year??
So special. There is a peace in that silence.
Yes there is. Much needed around this crazy train.
this. is. perfect.
“…I keep on with the flowery and he keeps on with the loving, not just the saying.”
a true testament of love captured in the few words you’ve laid out.
The love you feel for Pete overflows from your words-wonderfull!
I am a blessed girl, no doubt about it. Thanks for reading, and for the comment love.

“When we are together, most often we are silent. Spent from the day, from the living.”
This. When there’s no conversation necessary. Because living a life together is enough. Enough to carry you through the times when you’re not together.
ohh yes. It helps the away times. Thanks for reading here.
