Bandaids

Let me begin this story by saying that we already own a box of 60 1"x3" bandaids. This is more than enough for two 50 year old adults.

Last week I went to the skin doctor and had a few "age induced" moles removed. (A sad but necessary occurrence) I was instructed to keep them covered with a bandaid and ointment for a week. A few days later I noticed that the bandaid was irritating the skin on my neck and it was beginning to hurt. As I went through the day and it became more and more uncomfortable I decided that I would have to stop using the bandaids even though a week had not passed. When I got home from work that night my husband Ted handed me two (yes, two) boxes of assorted bandaids. My dear husband bought me two boxes so that I would have enough of the small circle bandaids to last the rest of the week. The size of these bandaids covers the lesion but does not have a large area of glue to irritate my skin. He wasn't concerned with whether we needed bandaids, only with my comfort.

While this is a small thing, it demonstrates the many thoughtful things that Ted does to show his love and care for me. I am grateful for this man that God has given me and I love him more every day.
