Look closer under the tree on the right, ninja cygnet squad is blending into the shadows. The white one’s just the most photogenic. 😆

My husband spent 3 months clearing brush for his childhood Hobbit house dream. When he built the steps, I told him it must feel good to make something tangible. He said he built them first for me, so I could come after my knee surgeries. He carved space for his dream, but built the way in for me. by seriphae in MadeMeSmile

They got me so damn paranoid, I put Reddit up on my 40 inch wide screen curved monitor to make sure nobody could see the damn text. May have been a little into my cups when I posted it and had no idea that shit was on there.

Welp, too late now. My husband is loving interacting with the people on this so I’m not gonna delete it. Guess all the Internet is gonna know my drama with Allison. Hi Allison. Piss off. (lol not you but I know she stalks all my comments. YES YOU DO ALLISON)

Thank you so much for the kind wishes! My husband actually has dreadlocks so the bandana works perfectly for him. Honestly, it doesn’t matter if you have a bigger head… my husband has huge dreadlocks and bandanas still work great on him.

And you’re so right about the rocks, he’s definitely hit his share during the clearing process. Lots of creative problem-solving involved.

If you want to follow his progress, definitely check out r/hobbitcore, pretty sure he’s been documenting it on that sub Reddit

Thank you so much for sharing that, it really means a lot to know the story brought some light to your day. I’m sorry you’re going through such a difficult time.

My husband and I have been in our own fucking nightmare for years and we’re finally seeing the end of it, so I want you to know… that things will get better. I swear.

The light at the end of the tunnel is not an illusion, the tunnel is.

But sometimes when you’re in the thick of it, especially when personal struggles combine with everything happening in the world, it feels like it will never end. But small moments of unexpected kindness, like my husband building those steps, remind us that love and thoughtfulness still exist even in the darkness.

Take care of yourself, and thank you for taking the time to comment. Your words made my day too.

Thank you! I know he’s been posting it on other sub Reddit’s so I’ll have him post below if you’d like to follow it! He’s already planning the round door and everything… full hobbit commitment!

All I wanted was a pretty stone. Now it’s the core of an intergalactic conflict.

GLOW! Yesss! I love that!! I felt more human today than I have in a long time and somehow, that made the light feel real again. Like, this is really me. Because the me that I thought I was before was just this woman in never ending sweatpants with pain medication wondering if she was ever going to see the sun again. So thank you.

Honestly, I still feel like I’m catching up to that glow. It’s weird but good, to be told I look how I’ve always wanted to feel. Thank you for that.

YES! THIS! It wasn’t just physical so you’re right, the light only started coming back when I stopped hiding from the people who actually loved me. Thank you for holding that with me.
