DYING WOMAN WRITES DATING PROFILE FOR HER HUSBAND

The New York Times published a letter from author Amy Krouse Rosenthal on Friday. Rosenthal writes about her fight against ovarian cancer and goes on to say that, after she’s gone, she would like someone to eventually fall in love with her husband. She even included a dating profile of her husband of 26 years:
“He is 5-foot-10, 160 pounds, with salt-and-pepper hair and hazel eyes. He is a sharp dresser. Our young adult sons, Justin and Miles, often borrow his clothes.”
“On the subject of food – man, can he cook.”
“Jason paints. I love his artwork. I would call him an artist except for the law degree that keeps him at his downtown office.”
“This is a man who emerges from the minimart or gas station and says, ‘Give me your palm.’ And, voilà, a colorful gumball appears.”
“Here is the kind of man Jason is: He showed up at our first pregnancy ultrasound with flowers,” Rosenthal writes. “This is a man who, because he is always up early, surprises me every Sunday morning by making some kind of oddball smiley face out of items near the coffeepot: a spoon, a mug, a banana. If you’re looking for a dreamy, let’s-go-for-it travel companion, Jason is your man.”

* You just know that this got optioned for a movie over the weekend.
* Even Tom Hanks thinks this guy is a little too sweet.
* This guy sounds so nice even I want to marry him.
* Wait, he’s a lawyer. Never mind.
* Can’t he have just one thing wrong with him? Like, I don’t know – herpes?
* Wait, he comes out of a gas station with a gumball as a present? We’re supposed to be impressed by that?
* How about going to a jewelry store and buying something nice?
* This is sweet and it came out great, but let’s be real: Having your wife write about your qualifications as a husband would make make most guys cringe.
