Dear Dr. Laura,
I started listening to you with my Mom when I was about 12 years old. Honestly, at that age I was bored to tears. As I got older though, here and there, I found myself listening to you on my own. Then one day I discovered "The Proper Care and Feeding of Husbands." I was dating a man at the time - the most amazing man - and I wanted to spend the rest of my life with him. I was a clueless 20-something, so I read the book (twice) in less than a week, and began listening to your show religiously.
Fast forward 5 years and that man and I are married, so ridiculously happy, and I follow your advice everyday. Do I get it right everyday? No. Do I get snippy and bitchy from time to time. Yes. But one thing stays the same no matter what: My husband is my knight in shining armor. He is my hard working, loving, kind, thoughtful, hilarious, HOTTTT, husband. He is my MAN, and I make sure he knows it! And I am his devoted wife, and his naughty girlfriend.
When you left broadcast radio I couldn't follow you. My husband knew that secretly I was so, so sad to "lose" you. Today is my 30th birthday - I received many sweet gifts from my husband, but the best gift - a 1 year Family Plus Gift Membership!!!! What's more, is the thought that went into it. Not once did I ever ask for you, but because of what my Mom, and what YOU taught me about taking care of your man, he in turn is so attentive and takes care of me. He treats me like a queen and gives everything I could ever want, including you, Dr. Laura!
So thank you! I can't wait to start listening again!
Cheers,
Katie
