Hey Dad,
I'm suffering from a speaker-hangover. We spent all last week at a camp in Muskegon, MI and then Monday, my daughter and I flew to Boca Raton, FL. Then, my son and I just got back early this morning from speaking in Centerville, OH, last night and I'm bushed.
My lovely wife pushed me back into bed this morning, and I just now plopped my tired carcass in the chair to write you a quick note.
I wanted to reference a note that someone's wife sent me a week or two ago. It was handwritten in very uniform, girly handwriting. It wasn't mean spirited or preachy, just a short note accompanied by a cartoon telling me that her husband USED to tell her how beautiful she is but that he hasn't done it lately … and she misses it.
Then in one of the sessions at the family camp, when I wasn't speaking, the 'old guy' up front said something like, "If after the first ten years of marriage a woman is still beautiful, she can take credit for it, but if after 20 years of marriage a woman is still beautiful, her husband gets the credit."
Together, those couple little snippets made me wonder if I make my wife more beautiful or more haggard. You know if your wife is looking a little … "tired", then maybe it's a job for 'Maybelline Dad'—creator of beautiful wives.
Start with following the cartoon's advice by calling or texting your wife to say, "Hi beautiful. I just called to say I love you." Then use some of your own superhero-like qualities to make your wife feel … beautiful.
You 'da caped crusader!
