The Switch

The three-way switch in our bathroom was so cool! One switch controlled the light in the ceiling fixture, one switch controlled the fan in the ceiling fixture, and the third controlled the awesome row of lights over the sink! To me, this switch is also a reminder of how well Don and I complemented each other. One day, this switch stopped working and Don was hesitant to work on it because he didn't know much about electrical issues. I had some electrical experience, so I grabbed my screwdriver and fixed the switch. But when we had a leak under the kitchen sink and I was ready to call a plumber, Don grabbed a pipe wrench, crawled under there, and fixed it. It always seemed that regardless of what life threw at us, one of us, or the other, knew what to do or had the resources to handle it.
