It is the appreciation that makes it worth it. I used to get up at 3 am to make my ex breakfast and he'd complain about it if the yolk broke when I moved the egg to the plate or if he wanted something other than what I made. Now Ducks Fan was sick recently and I made him some homemade chicken noodle soup and brought it to him. He loved it and then loved it even more when I said I hate chicken noodle soup and don't eat it myself but I made it for him. Actually he said he was gonna get sick on purpose just so I'd make it again LOL! The appreciation makes me want to do things for him so I completely understand what you mean. And I am happy for you.
Oh girl,
