Brendan & Lori O'Gara

My husband enjoys building and painting models. Small fantasy critters and armies. For years it was difficult for him due to carpal tunnel pain. I convinced him to get the surgery. Now he’s back at it. Crazy thing is he thanks me for encouraging him to get his hand fixed.

Isn’t that what we are supposed to do? We should encourage the people we care about to feel better. We should do what we can to take care of them because we love them.

I must admit it is a purely selfish reason that I want to keep my human healthy and happy. I want him in my life as long as God allows.

Take care of them, the people you love. Be selfish from a motivation of love in that you want them healthy to share a life with you. The result will be a long love filled happy life.
