Eagle Born to Fly: Finding Life Beyond
Depression by Sharon C. Matthies
Price $15.00 >> 
Part 3 - Getting Out of There
Love Changes Everything
He cooks. He washes the dishes. He does the laundry. He irons my
clothes. He cleans the bathtub. Shopping for groceries is one of
his favourite outings. On cold winter nights, while I’m still
brushing my teeth, he warms my side of the bed. When I need him,
he’s there. When I need solitude, he’s somewhere else.
When I’m raging over some tiny perceived offense, he listens
and hugs me for the woundedness that still lies so deep within me.
He knows my rage often has nothing to do with him, but he lets
me fling it against him and loves me through the raging. When I’m
grieving, he holds me close to hear his heartbeat. When I was dancing
with disaster during a recent detox episode, he filled the bathtub
with lavender water and then gently bathed the stress and pain away.
When I’m feeling ambiguous about life, he makes me laugh.
He takes me dancing and holds me in his smouldering eyes from across
the room. He knows how to make my tea better than I do.
Ten years later, he still enjoys my company. He cradles and cherishes
me. He companions me through rain and shine. He loves me just the
way I am. He has made all the difference in the world to me.
