| Best non-literal gift: taking me at my word that I am not much into gifts and not trying to make that happen. Best literal gift: the anniversary ring that I picked out myself and instructed him to buy for me. |

| A surprise birthday party. I am still touched nearly twenty years after the party. |

| His sincere efforts to change the things he knows annoy me. His love and support when I’ve dealt with health issues. His fantastic parenting of our kids. “Stuff” type gifts are usually him encouraging me to spend our money on something I want but am not sure I should get — most recently a dress I found on sale and liked, but that won’t fit when I lose the baby weight and I can’t nurse in. I wore it out to dinner with him, no kids, and get special. |

Two weeks beside me in hospital when I was near death. He never left me alone.

| Bouquet of my favorite flowers, lemonade, and a tv in our bedroom when I was miserable with HG and had a full-time job and a toddler. I would come home from work, sip lemonade, and lay on the bed watching HGTV in a Zofran haze until I felt like I wasn't dying anymore. |

I have 2 favorite gifts....
1. When we were dating and I went off to grad school 3 hours away he got me jumper cables and an emergency car kit. This was before cell phones and he wanted to make sure I would be ok if anything happened when it was my turn to visit him. 2. When I was pregnant with our 2nd child he bought me a dishwasher and renovated the kitchen enough to install it so that I didn't have to spend so much time washing dishes! |

| I made some selfish and hurtful choices and almost ruined our marriage. My husband gave me a second chance when he could've easily kicked me to the curb. I am thankful every day for that second chance. |

| Five years ago we built a winter home in Florida near my 85 YO mother and my DH would fly down every other weekend for a long weekend. He was the CEO of a very large company and really loved his job. But after three years he decided to retire because he hated being away from me for so long. I love having him around and thank God he's enjoying retirement. |

This too. Before cancer, I thought DH wouldn’t be able to handle me being sick. But he stepped up in a huge way. |

Cash to make a very risky investment in art. I would never have done it without his encouragement.
Turned out to be profitable, but it wasn't a given that it would be. |
