H U S B a N D

He's a soul I feel I discovered.

Under no circumstances does he complete me, as we both know
          how important it is for me to complete myself.

Serious when needed, but howling with laughter about almost everything
           silly that makes me howl.

Bemused by my ridiculous attempts to convince him my way of thinking.

Analytical, because I'm not.

Never doesn't have my back.

Deadly serious about the family.

We've been together over 50 years, Line, so I kind of know what I'm talking about. Been together since I was fifteen and a half, and he was nigh onto 16.

Yup! My husband’s the analytical one in this family! Don’t stop him midstream. He will start from the beginning!

Kim, I am always yelling, "Say it in a sentence, I don't want to hear the paragraphs."
