The other day I wanted to go out since it was the only time I was free to do some grocery. I then asked arvin if I could go out shopping he then agreed only that he said he cannot bring me to the hospital he wants to sleep since he is still going for night duty. So i then called kuya noel to drive me off to the hospital so I could join the shopping bus, but his phone was out of reach… Option no#1, i was thinking of going alone to the hospital since its just three blocks away from our house, but its almost 7pm and its quiet dark outside. And if my husband finds out I went out alone he’ll surely get mad and a lot of blah blah will follow hahaha.. If this is not saudi arabia no problem I could go out alone whenever I feel like even if it means travelling alone but here we could never take chances. So my second option was to wake him up and ask him to bring me to the hospital.. I was just about to do that but looking at him sleeping I could not afford to just wake him up so I just confined myself in front of the computer browsing through the net.
8:15pm arvin woke up he then ask me why am I still at home I then told him the reason, so he got up and told me to dress up he said he’ll bring me to the hospital, I then told him not to anyway I said it will be difficult for him to sleep again . But he insisted , he then told me he wants me to go out. I know it will be difficult for him to sleep again , I felt so bad knowing that he would lack sleep and he will still go for night duty..
So upon reaching the hospital I called him I said thank you and sorry if I disturbed his sleep, but as always my husband just replied its nothing as long as its makes me happy.. With those words I really felt so guilty and at the same time felt so fortunate.You see my husband is so like that he goes out of his way even if it means he will be sacrificing things for me. And I just feel so blessed having someone to care for my needs in such ways. Though some of you might think hey whats the big deal with it .. For me little things does matter, in my husbands case he values his sleep so much, meaning if he is deprived of it he finds it difficult to function well specially he will still go for night duty alone . ALONE meaning to say he will be the only Respiratory therapist to attend to all ventilated patients in NICU,MICU,SICU,PICU as well as to attend CODES in the whole hospital if there will be any. You could just imagine how exhausted he will be after duty. So I really appreciate what he did for me that night.
So before going home i though of buying him something to eat that night, i then pass by Hardees and bought his fave burger.. Of course he was so much happy with that burger, but i know it was not enough for what he had done for me..
