How awesome is my DH?!

Really awesome is the answer! He isn't as vocal or 'out' as I am about our infertility. Obviously the people that we share in common on FB know, but he hasn't come out on FB himself. I asked him today if he had read any of the FB posts I have been doing this week and he said he skimmed over them, but not really. Then I go to take a nap and when I wake he has this as his status:

"YOU DON'T LOOK SICK!!!
No I don't. It's hard to explain to someone when they have no clue. It's a daily struggle feeling sick on the inside while you look fine on the outside.
Please put this as your status for at least 1 hour if you or someone you know has an invisible illness (Anxiety, Bi-Polar, P.T.S.D., LUPUS, Fibromyalga, Crohns, Diabetes, Arthritis, Chronic Back Pain, Epilepsy, MS, Depression).
Don't Judge"

and in the comments he added "and infertility" and one of his work buddies likes both the post and his added comment. I texted him to thank him, and he said "just another way of me telling you I love you and I am with you in everything." So love that man!
