99 Things You Might be Thankful for About Your Husband

A few months ago, during his workday, my husband drove himself to the ER because of chest pains. I was grateful he called me after he arrived safely, or I probably would’ve had a heart attack myself. Being at the hospital with him for those 24 hours made me forget about the list of things I needed him to do around the house and the little quirks that get under my skin.

Since then, those little things have popped back up, and I’m sure he has a list going for me too. But I’m trying to make a new list. This one has reasons I’m thankful for my husband. It’s not an actual list in print but a running one in my head that helps me be kinder and more appreciative.
