"He's never run through an airport for me"

LadyXaverian · July 2013

I love this. A great blog entry about how "love" is all of the daily ordinary/extraordinary things (not unlike SOME people's most favorite 1D song ever). So, if you like, read, and finish this sentence, "He (or she) has never run through an airport for me, but..."

Ok, I'll go.

He's never run through an airport for me, but for a whole year of a long-distance relationship, he drove 12 hours each way almost every other weekend-- sometimes just for a 24 hour visit.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he knows that most of our "family vacations" for the rest of our lives will be to visit my parents on a small island in eastern Canada, and he never complains that he'd rather go somewhere else.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he does way more housework than I do because he knows how much I hate it.

To name a few.

LOL Scout. I started writing a novel, and then I cut it back to just a few because no one wants to read my life story, I don't think.

I will read your life story any time, my dear.

Aw shucks.

Is it sad I cannot think of anything... like, "he does the dishes after I passive-aggressively sigh and then I just aggressively tell him to get off his ass".

or... "he tells me to go back to bed (while still laying in bed) at 5am on a Saturday after DS wakes up and I am taking care of him while I am wide awake and nearly out the door." I guess it's the thought that counts?

Hmmm, I guess he's just not romantic. In the least. He one time told me that I was amazing and he loved me mostly because when I opened his beloved car door, I looked to make sure I wasn't going to smash it into the side walk.

Maybe I am bitter right now. Maybe.

I'm sorry, Holls. I'm sure there are days that we all have to dig deeper than others.

He's never run through an airport for me, which is good, considering he'd probably be tasered by TSA.

catycate · July 2013

He;s never run through the airport for me, but he takes cares of all the day to day bs that he knows I hate- calling the bug guy, paying bills, making sure that the cars gets oil changes.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he tells me multiple times a day he loves me.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he has told me that he saw our entire lives together the second I walked through the door on our first date.

KaramelSutra · July 2013

he's never run through an airport for me, but he did move across country to be with me, while I was still technically engaged.

SunnyMeg1 · July 2013

He's never run through the airport for me but he'll stay awake all night just to talk to me, even when he has to go to work the next day.

Manateearmz · July 2013

He's ran through the airport for me.

tbmadeamistake · July 2013

He's never run through an airport for me, but today, our anniversary, he picked up C from daycare and did dinner/bath/bedtime so I could attend a work function and when I got home there were roses and a card on the breakfast nook.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he does all our laundry every weekend.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he makes me laugh even when I'm super mad at him.

kellijo1013 · July 2013

He's never run through the airport for me, but he does a heck of a lot more household chores than I do.

He's never run through the airport for me, but he encourages me to pursue my dreams every day, and tells me how amazing I am.

kellijo1013 · July 2013

That's right ladies, I just earned a 10 post badge.... um is this something to be excited about?

I have been lurking since before my almost 3 year old was born... time to intro? LMK.

This sounds just like my husband! The first birthday gift he got me was an excercise video and the first Christmas gift he bought me was a trash can. I think I would have a stroke if he figured out romance.

LuckyDad · July 2013

She carried a baby. She's good for a while. No airport running needed.

theimpossibleastronaut · July 2013

He has never run through an airport for me, but he cried his eyes out when we got married and wrote the most beautiful wedding vows. He's supported me emotionally through hard times and made me laugh until I was sure I'd pee my pants. He works hard and comes home and works just as hard to be a great dad and an amazing husband. Also, he's a nerd too, so it works for us.

Soxgirl07 · July 2013

He's never run through an airport, but he did immigrate to America to marry me. And now, as a staunch conservative, he lives in one of the most liberal states in the nation because I could never imagine home being anywhere else.

He's never run through an airport, but he is a hero to our son, who runs to him each night. He reads books, builds forts, plays endless rounds of "catch me" just to hear our son laugh. He comforts our baby and never complains when his needs, mostly nursing, come between him and plans he's made.

He's never run through an airport, but he does do the dishes and the laundry. He takes out the trash and empties the basement dehumidifier. He's embraced my friends as his own, despite their extreme quirks. And it's rare, but he likes to bring home random little gifts for me and delights in watching me open them.

Who needs running through an airport?

aforst · July 2013

I'm a little late...are we still doing this?

He's never run through an airport, but he snakes the drain in the shower to get all my hair out. (That shit is nasty).

He's never run through an airport, but he listened to me drunk cry the other night about how I need more help and he's stepped up.

He's never run through an airport, but he switched his hours at work and now gets up at 5 a.m. to be home with us for dinner in the evenings.

He's never run through an airport, but he never fails to tell me how beautiful and sexy he thinks I am.

He's a good dude.
:x

He's never run through an airport for me, but he is the back bone of our family. Through multiple miscarriages and loss, he assured me that if we never had children together, that the privilege of raising DS and DD had already made him a parent. When we had to leave the twins in the NICU and make the 2.5hour trip home, he loaded our bags, and physically carried me to our car, because I couldnt leave our babies. He has dried my tears while crying his own.

He has never run through an airport for me, but comes home every night to a house turned upside down, and helps me right it again, just in time for the kids to wake up and do it all over again.

He has never run through an airport for me, but has unfailingly brought laughter into our lives every single day. He can find the silver lining in anything, and he can make you believe in it too.

He has never run through an airport for me, but has cleaned up poop and vomit, from the kids, from the dogs, and even from me, and has never once complained.

He really is my best friend.

lildevil968 · July 2013

He's never run through an airport for me, but he has driven 7 hours in a Blizzard to pick me up because my car broke down, and I was stranded.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he has carried me through the doors of an emergency room, because I was too sick, and weak to walk.

MrsCodeMonkey · July 2013

You made me cry. That was very sweet.

[Deleted User] · July 2013

He's never run through the airport for me. He knows I don't like to fly, so that would be fruitless. He's smaht.

Kitiara5512 · July 2013

He's never run through an airport for me, but he does most of the housework and is great with C, checks on me to be sure I am feeling okay and how my day was, and tells me its okay to take a break from the kid on our only day off together and takes C out for an hour so I can get some me time even if he doesn't get any time to himself.

ginamcp · July 2013

He's never run through an airport for me but when I had a health scare at the beginning of our relationship he told me that he would take me any way he could get me - sick or healthy.

He's never run through an airport for me but he held my hand and cried with me at the ER when I had my mc.

He's never run through an airport for me but he gets me and he loves me even through the crazy. He bites his tongue much more often than I do and patiently waits for my angry ranting to be done before he logically deals with whatever issue I am having.

Liz4444 · July 2013

He's never run through an airport, but he goes to the liquor store and gets my wine for me.

LadyXaverian · July 2013

Awesome! I love everyone's lists. I feel like I could make a list as long as my arm-- I might totally copy this blog entry idea for a future one of my own. I'm a thief like that.

kristen714 · July 2013

He has never run through an airport for me but no matter how exhausted he is he will still play anything our DD wants. He has never run through an airport for me but he will run through the drive through and get me ice cream when I am having a bad day. He has never run through an airport for me but he tells me how lucky he is to be with me all the time.

meaglamillion · July 2013

He has never ran through an airport for me, but he works a job he dislikes a lot in order to provide for our family. More often than not he comes home to a disaster of a house and pitches in to help put it back together. Plus, a lot of the time he surprises me with a latte.

He had never ran through an airport for me, but he is the father to my children that I've never had for myself.

ifwisheswerefishes · July 2013

He's never run through an airport for me, but he's held me through one of the worst times of my life dealing with depression, losing two houses right out from underneath us during the buying process, and dealt with extreme family stress.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he ran into his parents' burning barn with a hose and saved their house, with the help of his fire fighting team.

He's never run through an airport for me, but he runs across the room to pick up our daughter when he gets home from work, and it delights my heart.

kikalynne · July 2013

He's never run through an airport for me, but we were college sweethearts and in the first few months of dating, he held my hand and cried when I told him about battling cancer in high school. He said he would have given anything to be there for me when I was going through it all. And then he went and got a tattoo to match the one they gave me in the hospital to mark my radiation field. That's when I knew he was it for me.
