He Fought For Me!

My Tender Warrior!

I recently read that every woman longs to be fought for by her mate. This rang true for me and it was an "aha" moment for me as well. To have TW defend me makes me feel like a worthy person; it makes me feel loved. Boy, did TW come through in a big way this weekend. It made my heart melt!

On Friday of last week I found out I have to have surgery to remove a cyst that is on my right ovary. I struggle with anxiety and fear a lot. While I have come a long way in this area, I still have a lot of work to be done. One of my fears is surgery. I don't like the whole being put to sleep thing. So, when I got off the phone with the Dr. on Friday I was a basket case. I called TW and just lost it. He came home from work right away! That was big for me. Oh, how comforting that was. If you know TW very well, you know he works hard and long, but he was there when I needed him and that just filled me up. But, that wasn't the example I was thinking of when starting to write this. I don't remember how it came up, but somehow I found out that he had called my Dr. on his own so that he could find out a little more information and speak with him himself regarding the surgery. When I heard that he did that I just swelled up so big and I felt like he had fought for me. I don't think he knew that it was a big deal to me, but it was HUGE. Tonight I thanked him for what he did so that he would know just how much I appreciated that and how loved I felt.

I am done bragging now. :)

The surgery is this Friday morning. Please pray for me, my family, and the doctors! Many blessings to you!

Does this help explain why TW wanted to fight any guy back in college that dared to look at you from across a bar?

Just kidding. Good luck on Friday. You'll be in my thoughts and prayers.
