Hump Day Nudge: Outrageously Foolish Love

There is something about a man who will do whatever it takes to delight his wife that gets me…like wow, when a guy is willing to be foolish to give his wife some humour at a time she really needs some.

He doesn’t care what others think.  He is bold and courageous.  He’s got his eye on the prize…chuckles from his wife who is battling cancer:

Bob Carey understood that laughter and darkness fit together…that giggles don’t change difficult times, but a hearty chuckle connects people and brings life where it can be hard to breathe.

His wife, Linda, sees an act of love in each photo. It gives her strength. It gives others who struggle strength. It puts his own inner, “What will people think?” aside to place his wife’s wellbeing at the centre.  Wow.

There’s something about Bob choosing to proudly wear a pink tutu that pulls on the humanity in all of us…to not consider being ashamed…and others admire that and revel in his courage and his sense of humor.

We all feel a little more alive when we watch a man wear a pink tutu in honour of his wife, don’t we?
