If it is true that cleanliness is next to godliness, then I’m morally bankrupt. Let me be completely honest here. I’m a slob. I am the type of person that lays something down and doesn’t bother to pick it up again until it’s needed, or I’m forced to move it. Sitting here right now I can count 5 pairs of shoes that I have kicked off as soon as I walked inside the house. It’s amazing that I haven’t tripped over one of them and broken my neck.

Over the past seven years I was fortunate to be with a great man who didn’t mind getting up early on a Sunday morning and cleaning the house. What was even better he let me sleep in while he did it. This is just one of the many things that made Doug the wonderful person that he was. Not the cleaning part mind you, although that was truly wonderful, but his having the patience to put up with my sheer laziness. He never got upset with me. Instead Doug would ask me if I could pick up the glasses I left here and there and put them in the dishwasher. I was loved, and let’s face it, completely spoiled.
