When Lucenda was alive, I did most of the cooking (she did not like to cook). I did most of the clothes washing. I was OCD about the dishwasher. Lucenda was better at the cleaning than I was. Honestly, we both had our rounds at mowing the yard (before Brian was able to take over). She was the primary teacher for our son (homeschooling). She was very involved in the church nursery and children’s programing. She was very involved in community groups.

We did NOT do the “man’s work/woman’s role” things. We did what we were good at, together.

After she died, it took several people in all those areas to do what she alone did. She was great at what she did. She always put her all into her work.

Relationships … Partnerships … etc … require all parties to do their best to contribute to the betterment of the whole.
