Sometimes Husband is spelled @$$!

Last week Laura lost a dear friend. Karen was one of Laura’s best friends in college and lost her four year battle with cancer. My wife’s week was filled with anxiety every time she’d get a post from Karen’s “care page”. Most telling was the afternoon Laura spent in tears as she wrote a goodbye email to Karen at her husband Scott’s request. I say “most telling” because Laura is NOT a crier, I AM~

Laura leaves Wednesday morning for Atlanta to attend the funeral on Thursday and she’ll return home Friday because we leave Monday for a convention in Dallas. We’re cramming a weeks worth of work into two days so I can play “SUPER-DAD!” while Laura’s gone.

So WHY is Husband spelled @$$? Because on Friday all I could think about was getting our talks finished for the numerous conferences we’re speaking at this summer.

“C’mon Laura we really need to pound out these talks…get your head in the game! Focus with me, we are running out of time!” Finally she looked at me and said in a quivering voice, “Sorry, I’ve just had a stressful week”

Now wait for it… wait for it…my response…“Why have you had a stressful week?”

The look on her face showed pain I haven’t caused in quite some time…and it certainly made me think…Jay Laffoon you are just an @$$!

Pray for Laura as she heads south…pray that I get my head out of my back pocket! And let’s all pray we continue to learn and grow in this journey called marriage!

Jay (aka @$$)
