I ate a bowl of berries

but smothered them in Hershey's Chocolate Syrup. Boy was it good but probably negated all the benefits of eating fresh fruit. Rich and I are trying to be more healthy, and that probably wasn't the best option. He was diagnosed with dangerously high blood pressure a couple of weeks ago. My mind started wandering thinking of all the bad things that could happen if he didn't get this under control. Nothing like a crazy imagination to make you realize what you have and how you don't want it to change. I cannot even imagine my life without Rich. I depend on him for so many things. He is the "take charge" guy that I need, my security, and my friend. It is like a switch flipped and I am more conscious of telling him I love him before I leave in the morning, and his little quirks don't bug me so much (at least for now). I'm really trying not to be "that" wife that nags him about taking his medicine and eating the right things, but boy is it hard. I would encourage everyone to imagine their life for one minute without someone they love, it's a real way to change your perspective.
