Horror's Greatest Hits

Making her list

My name is Javier and I've been a husband for 16 years.
Some of you may be married less or more time than I, but it's safe to assume that after the bliss of the first few years, that maddening, all-consuming combination of love and youthful lust, fades to the background and life takes over with its routines and mundane commitments. Right? With children in the mix, one or two pets, and full time employment, life really takes a big bite out of the time pie.

Charity Mcintyre After reading this, I wish I could reach through the virtual world and give Javier a high five! This is what I call a "knock'em in the head" or "realization" read. Often times in a marriage/relationship there is one person that does more of the day to day around the house type of stuff. Whether it be cleaning, cooking, taking care of the kids or all of the above, in addition to working a full time job. The days start early and end late. This leaves very little time for "adult time". This lack of "adult time" can make one of the parents feel a bit neglected. I love how Javier portrays his feelings, but then describes his "knock'em in the head" moment. Not that he did not appreciate his wife before, but once he was put in her shoes he had a whole new understanding and appreciation. This just shows that we should all take a moment to look beyond the surface of what the other person has on their plate so there can be a true understanding and appreciation for what each person brings to the table each and every day.

This is one of the many reasons I love reading Javier's work.....he is just real. Great job, my friend! I miss you and I cannot wait to read more!
