The Life without Passion
W.Shakespeare
THEY that have power to hurt, and will do none,
That do not do the thing they most do show,
Who, moving others, are themselves as stone,
Unmovèd, cold, and to temptation slow,—
They rightly do inherit heaven's graces,
And husband nature's riches from expense;
They are the lords and owners of their faces,
Others, but stewards of their excellence.
The summer's flower is to the summer sweet,
Though to itself it only live and die;
But if that flower with base infection meet,
The basest weed outbraves his dignity:
For sweetest things turn sourest by their deeds;
Lilies that fester smell far worse than weeds.

Thank You For Loving Me
Being married for a decade somehow makes one too comfortable and too familiar with the other half that sometimes one forgets to appreciate the little things he has done.
When I was still working, I hardly notice the little gestures that Hubz made. Only now when I'm a SAHM do I fully comprehend how much he loves me & the little ones and how many sacrifices he has made.
Seeing that the boys really needs more supervision, Hubz requested for me to stay home instead and to focus on them. Though knowing that reducing to a single income would have a huge imprint on us, he bravely declared that it is after all his duty to provide for us and I am not obliged to do so.
Even when I went to being a SAHM, he knows it was tough on me and he too resigned from a steady income post to driving full-time as it allows for more flexibility. It definitely wasn't easy especially with all the inflation and what-nots increasing. Not only that, I know it saddens him when there where criticisms from his family who felt that he was making a foolish move and who also had misgivings as to whether he resigned voluntarily or was he given the boot.
I am fiercely protective of my loved ones and I am certainly not going to sit back and let anyone misjudge Hubz who has been really selfless all these while.
There's nothing more I'm proud of than the time when Hubz was working at TY. He worked really hard to earn his keep. He received numerous compliment letters and awards during his time there. Silver, Gold EXSA Awards- you name it, he's got it. He was always scoring 100% for his KPI and always in the top percentile for EW sales. Hubz has also received a number of rewards for his achevements from his BM including monetary rewards. So on what basis do you even have the cheek to conclude that he was given the boot? Let me reiterate; Hubz gave up his career for his family, simple as that.
His biggest sacrifice is when he even gave up his sleep in order to revive our previous double income. Hubz has gone back to the workforce full-time and yet he still drives at night after work to supplement the family income. Imagine having only 3 hours of sleep. All this for the family, not himself. That's how much he loves us.
Now, everyday I am thankful to God for blessing me with a wonderful husband. Every night we pray for his well-being and safety. He's not perfect but he has done more for us than anyone could have ever done.
So stop thinking negatively of him. He is still part of your family after all.
