From
“Lincoln 365,” by Arnold Kunst
August 16
In the early years of their marriage whenever
there was a thunderstorm Mary would take to her bed with blinding headaches,
sometimes for days at a time. They say that Lincoln tended to her every need,
was lavish in his sustained attention and solicitous care. It was as if there
was a part deep inside her that would release wellness only when he had
displayed sufficient gargantuan attention - only then would the headaches
subside.
‘Your love for her is to be
creative, sincere, abiding. Leave a post-it with her lunch where only she will
find it: “I'm glad you're in my life.” Do that without anticipating she will
react in the way you would like - and you’ll never look back.’
- Arnold Kunst
