The perfect send off gift


So Tony leaves on Monday.  Today, he closed out another chapter in his life with Interactive Intelligence and working full time in the IT field.  I am proud of him, so very proud of him and I love seeing the happiness in his eyes about being able to work with family and to be outside every day.  

I have been racking my brain as to what I can do to prepare him for the move.  How can I help him?  How can I support him and make this new life easier and smoother when I am not going to be there for 6 weeks?  

Well, I can't make meals for him.  I can't scratch his back or rub his shoulders in the evening when he comes home after a long day.  I won't be able to give him a big kiss or hug or even share a laugh in person.  

Then it dawned on me, I know what I can do to make sure he is ready to go.  I bought him underwear, yes, 14 pairs to be exact.  Did he really need it?  Probably not, but now he can last almost 3 weeks without running out of clean underwear.  Wife duties done!  Not glamorous, not overly sentimental.   Buy hey, that is us in a nutshell.  We are practical, down to earth folk.
Date night and a yummy dinner at Mama Carolla's.

    1. That's my girl...I would have done the same thing! Good luck to both of you on the big move and adjustments.
