I'm not as strong as you think

Dear Hubby,

Right now, I am weak, I am sad, I feel ugly, I feel like less than a woman. I need you to tell me I'm pretty. I need you to hold me without me asking. I need you to understand that I'm mourning the children I will never have.

This would be a good time for flowers. It would be a good time to play with my hair. It would be a good time to cook dinner.

I love you. I appreciate you being at the hospital during surgery. I appreciate that you're handling the bills while I'm worried about money.

One day, I will be okay again. When I am, how you treated me now - when I am at my lowest - will probably always color how I see you.
