The love of a wife

Due to unusual circumstances, I live and work across the world from my wife, who cannot stand the climate of Singapore, and cannot live with what Singapore means to her. She comes to visit about twice a year, and never leaves before having first cooked meals which she freezes over for my future enjoyment.

There is perhaps no better expression of selfless love that a wife could give. And on her last trip, she added this lovely (and useful) touch: a list stuck on the door of the freezer.

Somehow, this made me think of a wonderful line at the end of An Ideal Husband: "If men married the women they deserve, they would have a very bad time of it".
