065: the little things

My greatest blessing.


Our toothpaste was about to run out - frustrations heightened last night trying to get the last bits of toothpaste out. We were both brushing our teeth before bed when I moaned that I hated squeezing the life out of this tiny, flattened tube and how it annoyed me so. I didn't think much of it later. Many things annoy me when its that time of the month.

Today, I woke up after a lovely Saturday afternoon nap, greeted by a smile and a kiss from my husband. I slept on his arm whilst he was tapping away on his laptop, working with a quickly approaching deadline. Two hours of sleep and he didn't flinch a bit because he didn't want to wake me. Akmal headed to the bathroom to have a shower and I said that I would go after him. Still rubbing my tired eyes, I went into the bathroom for a shower and I noticed my toothbrush on the sink. 
My toothbrush with toothpaste already squeezed neatly on it.

"I know how it annoys you," he said.

I melt, and I think to myself - I am the luckiest girl in the world.
