a couple of weeks ago, jeromy and i were driving down pipeline in his truck. we pass a turtle in the middle of the road. i see his little head and arms poke out. he takes a couple of steps and then tucks inside when a nearby car whooshes by.

we pass by the turtle in jeromy’s truck.

without saying a word, jeromy looks at me and turns his truck around. he parks in a nearby parking lot, runs out into the middle of the four-lane road and picks up the turtle. he then proceeds to take the turtle to a creek and sets him down on the bank facing the water. most might discount this act as a waste of time or something silly. but i found something really sweet and almost downright sexy when jeromy took the time to save this little turtle. if he’ll go through this much trouble for a random reptile in distress… one can only imagine how he will treat his wife and kids. roses and all are great… but it’s little crap like this that melts me.
