> >> This letter is being widely circulated. Written by a caring and concerned
> >> husband, it expresses so beautifully his observations of changes in his
> >> wife -- changes that are of some concern to him. Like most people, you
> >> will
> >> be glad you took the few minutes required to read it
> >> Dear Friends,
> >> It is important for men to remember that as women grow older it becomes
> >> harder for them to maintain the same quality of housekeeping as they did
> >> when they were younger. When men notice this, they should try not to
> >> yell.
> >> Let me relate how I handle the situation.
> >> When I got laid off from my consulting job and took early retirement; in
> >> April, it became necessary for Sally to get a full-time job, both for
> >> extra
> >> income and for health benefits that we need. It was shortly after she
> >> started working that I noticed that she was beginning to show her age.
> >> I usually get home from fishing or hunting about the same time she gets
> >> home
> >> from work. Although she knows how hungry I am, she almost always says
> >> that
> >> she has to rest for half an hour or so before she starts supper.
> >> I try not to yell, instead I tell her to take her time and just wake me
> >> when
> >> she finally does get supper on the table. She didn't used to leave the
> >> dirty
> >> dishes on the table but it seems now she allows them to sit on the table
> >> for
> >> several hours after supper. I do what I can by reminding her several
> >> times
> >> each evening that they aren't cleaning themselves. I know she appreciates
> >> this, as it does seem to help her get them done before she goes to bed.
> >> Now that she is older she seems to get tired so much more quickly. Our
> >> washer and dryer are in the basement. Some times she says she just can't
> >> make another trip down those steps. I don't make a big issue of this.
> >> As long as she finishes up the laundry the next evening I am willing to
> >> overlook it. Not only that, but unless I need something ironed to wear to
> >> the Monday lodge meeting or to Wednesday's or Saturday's poker club or to
> >> Tuesday's or Thursday's bowling or something like that, I will tell her
> >> to
> >> wait until the next evening to do the ironing. This gives her a little
> >> more
> >> time to do some of those odds and ends things like shampooing the dog,
> >> vacuuming or dusting.
> >> Also, if I have had a really good day fishing, this allows her to gut and
> >> scale the fish at a more leisurely pace. Sally is starting to complain a
> >> little occasionally. For example, she will say that it is difficult for
> >> her
> >> to find time to pay the monthly bills during her lunch hour. In spite of
> >> her
> >> complaining, I continue to try to offer encouragement. I tell her to
> >> stretch
> >> it out over two or even three days. That way she won't have to rush so
> >> much.
> >> I also remind her that missing lunch completely now and then wouldn't
> >> hurt
> >> her any, if you know what I mean.
> >> When doing simple jobs she seems to think she needs more rest periods.
> >> She
> >> had to take a break when she was only half finished mowing the yard. I
> >> try
> >> not to embarrass her when she needs these little extra rest breaks. I
> >> tell
> >> her to fix herself a nice, big, cold glass of freshly squeezed lemonade
> >> and
> >> just sit for a while. I tell her that as long as she is making one for
> >> herself, she may as well make one for me and take her break by the
> >> hammock
> >> so she can talk with me until I fall asleep.
> >> I know that I probably look like a saint in the way I support Sally on a
> >> daily basis. I'm not saying that the ability to show this much
> >> consideration
> >> is easy. Many men will find it difficult. Some will find it impossible.
> >> No
> >> one knows better than I do how frustrating women can become as they get
> >> older. However, guys, even if you just yell at your wife a little less
> >> often
> >> because of this article, I will consider that writing it was worthwhile.
> >> Signed, Bob
> >> Bob's funeral was on Saturday, January 25th.
> >> Sally was acquitted on Monday, January 27th.
