If you are a regular reader of our blog than you know a lot has been going on from glee to tragedy all seeming to be happening at the same time.
Sometimes, we need to take a step back and think about what we really appreciate in life.
- Knowing that today could be your last, have you told your husband or wife or significant other and your children or relatives that you love them?
- Have you smiled at a stranger passing by your path today?
- Did you reach out your hand to help an elderly person open a door or get out of a car?
- Did you reach into your change purse to give your change to the homeless man?
As I pondered these thoughts I realized how truly blessed I am to have Nestor in our lives. If you have been around for awhile- you know our series on Romancing Realtors®.
I know that I have shared what a loving husband, kind father and wonderful friend he is in posts gone by. I felt it in my heart this Christmas season to let him know publicly how much I appreciate all that he does for us and our family.
I also treasure each and every moment where he tells me he loves me and he does that every day.
Sometimes we come to expect certain things and the meaning may go unnoticed as it should never be-
one of the things that Nestor does to show me he loves me is to bring me flowers and now he is teaching our son to do the same for his mommy.
Once a week Nestor brings me fresh flowers.
And he always says," Gee, the flowers are so jealous because they are not as pretty as you."
Thank you honey, for thinking of me, always.

Katerina,
Sometimes we get caught up in our businesses and extra curricular activities. Great reminder that we need to slow down. Have a great week in the business.

Katerina, This is a good reminder of encouragement for all of us to remember what is truly important in our lives. I felt extremely blessed this weekend to have alittle time to work in my yard and get it ready for winter. I was further blessed that my loving husband came out to help! Now I'm back to real estate! ;-D
Hey, Nestor is making me look bad. You can't post this kind of stuff. :) Now I need to go home and hug my wife and kids.
I'm a little jealous... You have found the right one!
Katerina, it's so wonderful to read about love on Active Rain! I should be writing about it.
Katerina~ It is so important that we take the time all year long to let those that are important to us know just how much we love them! It sounds as if your Nestor is a real gem!
Hi Katerina....Great Post as always...Well Done Nestor and how sweet Katerina to publicly tell everyone how much you both Love each other :O))
Cheers...Remember when Giving To Pay It Forward to at least three people needing your help and ask them each to help at least three people and to pass it on..and so on..:O))
Have a Wonderful Holiday Season.
Nestor,
Brenda and I have been married nearly 39 years, we never miss an opportunity to say I love you!
But, Nestor about those flowers, don't tell Brenda!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Katerina & Nestor ~ Thanks for sharing about the little things that mean so much!
What a wonderful post, and what a wonderful man! Reminds me of my Dad, when my Mom was alive he brought her one long stemmed red rose every Sunday morning!
Love is a wonderful blessing and it sounds like your home is truly blessed! We all need to take time each day to reach out to those we love and care about. At our house we don't let a day go by that we don't express our love and gratitude for each other.
Hi, Katerina. Nestor is giving a gift twofold, once to you and once to your son. What a wonderful role model.
Awwwwww, you make me jealous. Sounds like Nestor is staying for a while.... LOL.
You know, it never occurred to me in my younger days that life can go in an instant. But as I read this post, I picture my son greeting me every morning with his smiling face, there is just nothing more perfect than that. It was after having him that I feel I treasure life and moments much more.
Katerina,
Congratulations on such a blessed relationship. I wish you and Nestor many, many more years together!
Beautiful Katerina. You are blessed. Have a wonderful week.
Katerina, so important...we tell our kids after every phone call or anytime they leave, we love them.
...and they tell us back, no matter who they are with.
Sometimes if one of them has messed up, I will say, I'm so upset with you but I still love you.
I'm coming up on 20 years since I learned that lesson. That is the day my dad was given a second chance at life. I now tell everyone on my life that I love them everyday, because I don't know when it will be their last day and I don't want to have any regrets.
Hi, Katerina!
Many don't realize how important those 3 simple words are. They make a person feel so good.
We never know when it will be our time to go. If "I love you" is not said regularly, the opportunity may be missed.
You are blessed with such a wonderful husband.

Thank you everyone for your lovely comments. I appreciate all your support and comments.
Katerina,
My daughter, age 17, last spring was in a very serious car accident. Parents should never have to arrive on an accident scene and see a car upside down and your child being loaded into an ambulance. She was OK, just a concussion. However, it changed our lives. To bad it takes something so serious to make you look at each other with such appreciation.
Hug your family TODAY and EVERYDAY!
Linda- Call me tomorrow on my cell phone.
Yes, too often we wait until something so serious happens to wake up to what is important in our lives. I love my kids so much and am blessed they are all still here on the earth.
Katerina - His comment about the flowers being jealous is more romantic than the flowers!! Good catch!
