Stephen

For those of you that already know my fiance Stephen, you would know just how big and sweet his heart can be. This past weekend I decided to take Stephen out for our date night. I found a cute 1913 pizza parlor that would be perfect for our dinner. We decided to order a calzone and a glass of wine. It was perfect. The atmosphere, the food, the wine, Stephen... everything was just perfect. Little did Stephen know, I had tickets to the Suns game in my purse as his final surprise. I was so excited to surprise him and just sit back and relax while we watch the Suns dominate the Kings. I succeeded with my sneaky plan.. and we made it to the game. He was of course surprised but was more excited to actually sit back and soak up the game. We grabbed a soda and sat down in our seats. As time passed, my stomach became continually uneasy. I didn't want to let Stephen know how horrible I was beginning to feel because he looked just SO into the game. I told myself I could tough it out and finish the game. I bit my lip and pushed forward as my stomach turned and turned with something that just did not feel right. Stephen knowing me too well, asked me why I was so quiet.. I answered, "I think I might be really sick". Stephen of course being unselfish said we should leave. We didn't quite make it home before my body told me something was wrong. Food poisoning to be exact. Yep! The worst feeling in the WORLD. If any of you have had this HORRIBLE bacteria, you would know that it might feel better to die then to throw up every hour on the hour (well.. not really) but it is so horrible I might have thought that a few times! The reason why I write this today is because Stephen stuck by my side the entire night. He cleaned up after me, took care of me and told me I was beautiful. He stayed up with me until 6 in the morning, rubbing my back telling me Ill make it through. Times like these, remind me so much as to why I simply fell in love with Stephen's kind spirit and heart. He is simply a servant and strives everyday to be a better person. I think we all sometimes forget to be a servant to each other without expectations. We become so consumed with ourselves that we forget what it means to be truly selfless. This weekend I was reminded how important it is to simply love someone with no strings attached. So I leave you with this... Be sure to tell someone how much you appreciate them and remind yourself what truly matters. Love.
