My Wife

My Wife is an amazing person. She is everything that I am not: most notably humble. She is quick, she is loving, she is patient, she is caring, she is giving, she always looks for the best in people, she is funny, she is quiet, she is artistic, she is not self-promoting, she tries new things, she is willing to risk things, she is passionate, she is sweet, she is loving, she constantly surprises me and she is the best person I know. What prompted this, you may ask? Last night she had her initial art show opening! She has been taking art classes and doing amazing things. Things I can't even begin to do, accomplish or fathom where people come up with the imagination to do things like that. She is so into non-self-promotion. Her show opened at 6:00pm last night. About 5:15, 5:20 she comes up and metions to me that, if I wanted to go with her, if I was interested, her opening night was tonight at 6:00 and would I like to go with her!?!?!?!?!? what the heck?!?!?!?!?! Why didn't you tell anyone? Why don't the kids know? Why am I just finding out?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?! I just want to do it my way. Don't you think others would like to know what you are doing? Not really, this is for me. For how much are you going to sell your paintings? No one will buy them, I am just learning. They don't know that. I still have to put names on them and sign them. (the last few sentences should be considered conversations between my wife and me and have quotation marks around them but I was lazy, just for clarification, in case you were wondering if dad is really going nuts and I just write random, made up conversations...) We went. It was truly amazing. My wife has talents that I wish I had coming out of her ears. What she is doing with me I will never know. Her art is mesmerizing. She is amazing. If you want to know how to be a better person, talk to my wife.
