Hero

In this world, I notice how women are not taken proper care of by their husbands. Women do not let themselves be cared for by men because it might be a sign of "weakness". Men don't allow themselves to take care of their wives because they maybe weren't properly taught by the examples in their lives or possibly because they are afraid that the women will retaliate and embarrass them for stepping in. It could just be that it's downright scary for them to have to face this part of being a male.

This women wants to be a damzel that is going to be taken care of by her knight in shining armor.

Recently something came about where I needed my knight. I never expected him to rise up so valiantly and honorably.....but he did.

He saw a wrong. He picked up his sword. He slayed the dragon (figuratively speaking).

I stand here in awe at the prince I have in my presence. What a wonder to behold that this knight is willing to get bloody and scarred just for me. Just because he loves me. Just because I am his and he is mine.

I don't think that he will ever be able to comprehend what respect I gained for him in doing this for me.

The memories I have of times when my husband was especially heroic for me are very dear to my heart.

And he's a hero all the time, because he works 80-100 hours a week so that I can stay at home with our children. Wow! What a man.
