The Jim I didn't know existed
It used to be that my husband could be taken at face value. What he thought, he said. And what he was going to do, he mentioned.
Or so I thought.
He has carefully crafted this deception over the course of 23 years. He acted like he couldn't wait to give me presents that he had bought so he made me receive them early. He would let things slip so that I would guess surprises. He pretended that he wasn't spontaneous and plan and plan and get my input on every detail for upcoming events.
But today, I have learned it was all a lie.
He surprised me by bringing donuts to seminary for the whole class in honor of my birthday.
And then when I went out to my van, he had left a bouquet of flowers on the driver's seat.
And he knew that some ladies were going to come over and bring me lunch, and KEPT IT A SECRET.
I had no idea.
I'll never trust him again! But in a good way.
