I need some positive distraction . . .

1. My then-boyfriend took us on a weekend to Sonoma. Years before, I'd mentioned that I wanted to be a person who took fancy baths but I didn't know how to make them fancy and never did the baths, fancy or not. We went on a hot-air balloon ride, then came back to our room, and he'd had the staff draw me a bubble bath. While I was in the bath he proposed. We've been married almost 15 years and even now he'll go draw a bath for me when I'm stressed.

2. Like a scene from a movie - I walked into a crowded room, found him, started walking towards him, our eyes met, he broke into a grin, and stumbled in his conversation, and then blushed.

3. He is a very chill guy, my husband. He rolls with whatever happens, doesn't get upset easily, mastered the art of de-escalation well before it was in the news connected to BLM protests. We had talked about how neither of us believe in fighting. Some guy was harassing me, and back when DH and I were only dating, the other guy came to my apartment lobby and was waiting for me. I'd mentioned him once to DH and words were exchanged. DH threatened the guy with so much intensity in his voice that the guy left and never bothered me again. (He was so flustered that he'd done that, that he laid down on the floor in my apartment, not knowing how to bring his adrenaline down.) I was shocked (and touched) he was willing to get in a physical fight for me.

A zillion years ago in my early 29s, I fell in love with a guy who I didn't marry but will always feel a bond with.

The first night we met was around Christmas time in a very cold Chicago. Running down MI after last call, he then swung around and covered my ears. I don't know why I thought that was the sweetest thing? He took his hand and covered my ears and said let me cover your ears and get them warm and looked at me with such care - I always smile when I think back to that.

I've had other romantic times of course in my life but for some reason his sweetness over such a little thing I don't know just touches me maybe it's because of how I felt about him?

My DH has a playlist of songs that remind him of me. Whenever he finds a new one, he shares it with me.

I had a flat tire in the parking lot of a college visit with our daughter (in the same town). He ran over, from work in his suit, and changed it. In the pouring rain.

I want to cry right now reading about all these precious moments. It made me realize how much I take (have taken) DH for granted.

These are the moments I find most romantic, too. Private, small, observant, nurturing gestures. My boyfriend and I went on a walk the other evening and it started pouring. He pulled me under a tree and gave me the driest spot and hugged me to keep me warm. I was chilly but my heart was exploding.

Not the person I married but in college I was at a concert where my friends and I had seats further back from his friends. The band started playing a quintessential romantic song and of course I think of him, way up by the stage and then I see him running up the aisle to be with me during that song.
