is that much sooner than later you can reference your husband or wife and no raised eyebrows.

I am disabled and I have been having a tough time the past few days. Something happened the other day that got me thinking and that's how I came up with my holiday/New Years/anything you want to call it wish-hopefully not stupid.

I was looking at being responsible for another holiday dinner for my partner's family and I wasn't looking forward to it. It sure isn't a potluck. My dear, sweet husband looked at me the other day and said he wanted split pea soup for Christmas dinner. The ham is done and people are welcome to come over for a bowl of soup and a ham sandwich. No dressing, no yams-candied or otherwise and all of the rest. We are having a quiet dinner. Most everyone else found dinners to go to and I am going to enjoy the whole day tomorrow.

I have shared this story with a lot of people. I have been told I have the world's greatest husband and I think we should all be able to talk about our spouses or partners the same way. My family will continue to work and walk along side you.
