See What This Husband Wrote on Depressed Wife’s Bathroom Mirror

Tim Murphy, a Los Angeles based Engineer has endeared himself to many online users after his wife, Molly, posted snaps of the so many reasons her husband loves her, Daily Mail reports. Murphy had written his reasons for loving Molly, as a surprise, on their bathroom mirror while his depressed wife was away on a trip. He has been seen as a hero for the feat trying to help his wife out of depression with the romantic and cheerful act that left her in tears.

Molly came back from her trip to San Francisco, where she had previously lived, to discover the bathroom note, which is made up of a long list of Tim’s ‘reasons I love my wife’. Among the items on the list were the fact that she ‘snorts when she laughs’, has ‘a beautiful singing voice’ and ‘cries around small animals.’

Perhaps more poignant was the reason that reads, ‘She has experienced severe tragedy but yet is the most optimistic person about humanity that I know.’

Read the full list below:

‘REASONS I LOVE MY WIFE’

2. She never quits on herself or me
3. She gives me time to work on my crazy projects
4. She makes me laugh, every day
5. She is gorgeous
6. She accepts the crazy person I am
7. She’s the kindest person I know
8. She’s got a beautiful singing voice

12. Without realising it, she makes me want to do more for her than I have ever wanted to do for anyone
13. She’s done an amazing job at advancing her career path

An overwhelmed Molly snapped a photo of her standing tearfully in the mirror’s reflection of the 15-item list and posted it on social media where it became a huge hit online, being viewed over 550,000 times on Imgur in just three days. Along with the photos, Molly explained the heartbreaking back story to the gesture writing on Imgur that,

‘I’ve been juggling a LOT lately. Just got married. Couldn’t afford a wedding. Family is sparse. Falling out with friends, yaddadyadda. But, the thing is, amidst all the struggle, my husband has relentlessly tried to cheer me up.’

She also included that she is aware that she has not been ‘the easiest person to deal with’ during the tough times, admitting to taking out her anger on her new husband on occasion in the form of raising her voice or locking herself in the bathroom sobbing.

‘But he somehow forgives me every time. I have a long journey ahead of me, and I know he probably realizes I’m depressed,’ she wrote. ‘But he holds my hand, and he tries his best.

‘Today when I came home from a trip to SF, I flopped onto my bed in tears. I looked to my left, and saw these words painted all across my mirror.
‘I think he wanted me to remember how much he loves me. Because he knows how quickly I forget.
‘He knows I struggle to see good in the world, and especially the good in myself. But here it is. A testament and gesture of his love. Damn, I needed it today…’
