I would do anything to see my wife smile

Iso post as it will be long and rambling <br><br>For the last 23 months I have been waiting for my wife of 15 years to see the smile I love. The shine that comes with it is just as important but her smile is so captivating. I remember it lighting up a whole room back in the day. It has been 23 months since I last saw it. <br><br>She had a hysterectomy 23 months ago. She was supposed to be off for 3 months to recover and enjoy the time off. During her recovery she was in a lot of pain and I had to figure out some new things. I’m pretty sure that at one point I almost burned the kitchen down. Way to go dumbass. <br><br>She was in a lot of pain and had to do this awful physical therapy to correct prolapse. She had to get a second surgery to fix it. It was at this point that I started to notice her mood changing and not for the better. <br><br>She went back to work and shortly after she got a job offer for a role in a state that we had always wanted to move to but the timing never worked for her job and in this economy where she works there is no transferring. <br><br>She took the job and we started making plans. She came home the day that we were supposed to start looking for a place for me to live and told me that she was leaving and wasn’t sure when she would be back. She said that I wasn’t to try and find her and to get the house ready to sell. <br><br>I was in shock. Completely. <br><br>A few weeks went by and we were getting the house ready while our son was wrapping up his senior year of high school. She calls me out of nowhere to tell me that she got her place and is coming home for a weekend to kiss our son goodbye and to spend the night in her old bed as she was having sleep issues. <br><br>I think this was the lowest point for me. A week before she left she told me that she is happy and I’m the biggest love of her life. Now she can’t sleep without me. I was so elated and then she left again. <br><br>She came back to help our son move into his dorm and came back home to get a bunch of her stuff. She hasn’t stayed with me again though. <br><br>For the last year I have been lonely. It has been so hard. I have had all of the stress of the house and my job on top of it. My son and I do see her at least once a week and we will all see each other when he comes home. I have to figure out how to get him and all of his stuff back up here though. <br><br>For the last year I have been so lonely and in this stress and she is the only one I want. She is the only person who knows me as well as I know her. And I just want to see her smile. I would give up my left nut to see it again. <br><br>I hope that she gets her smile back in the future. It’s something that I need and I miss it so much.
