My wife and I have always used separate bathrooms. This is because I often get up at some ridiculously early morning hour and I do not want to bother her. So, she uses the master bath and I use the hall bath. We have done it that way since our first house and it just works well.

Once Evan came along, he used the same bath that I do.

Evan and I go through a lot of Q-Tips. We both have some ear issues from time to time and we just use up a lot of those cotton-tipped swabs. We keep them in a drawer in the bathroom we share.

Somehow, Lisa always knows when we're running low and, almost miraculously, a new box of cotton swabs appears in place of the emptying box just at the right moment. If there are a few left in the old box, she takes them back to the master bath to use them up herself.

There are other examples of this, too, but it is so incredible and loving how she always watches after Evan and me, making sure in her own quiet, selfless way that we are taken care of. And well-cared for, we do feel!

Thank you, sweetie. There is a lot of love in those Q-Tips and in everything else you do for us. We love you, too!
