Church of Jeff1 of 2 - A good friend of mine unexpectedly lost his wife. A couple months later we were golfing together, chatting about nothing. He asked what my dinner plans were and I told him wifey wanted my homemade chili and cornbread, but I didn't feel like stopping at the store. We golfed a few more minutes when he quietly said, “Make the chili."
2 of 2 - It took me a few minutes to realize we were no longer talking about dinner. It was about going out of your way to do something for someone you love because at any moment, they could unexpectedly be taken from you. So today I'm sharing with you that wisdom handed to me by my dear friend. Next time someone you love wants you to go for a walk or watch a football game or play a board game or just put your phone down and give them your undivided attention, just do it. “Make the chili”

This is very, very true. I would definitely have been a tad more generous of spirit with my sweetie, and would have called him pet names (not something I'm comfortable doing- the ones like 'dear, sweetheart, honey') - I had pet names for him that were very personal, but he wanted the others, too. So now, when I talk to him, I try to add a few. 🕯️
