The One That Makes Your Eyes Light Up

I'm not a country music fan so I missed the appeal of Tim McGraw for a long time. I'd see him and his wife, Faith Hill, in pictures from red carpets and I just didn't get it. They were too pretty, too perfect, too unbelievable.

And then I saw them on Oprah.

Get him off a red carpet and have a camera follow him around being himself and you have a guy who's dead sexy. Non-scripted, country as all get out, semi-hopeless in a grocery store, thinks pan-fried hamburgers and bologney sandwiches are good eating, and doesn't have a grasp on cleaning up the kitchen after himself.

And he looks at his wife like she's fried chicken and he could eat her up.

Kind of scruffy, normal, and very believable.

Oprah said something profound (and as rare as that is these days it should be noted) people can say all the right words about how they love someone but you know how they really feel when you see their eyes light up when they talk about the other person.

We all need someone who makes our eyes light up. And to have someone who lights up when they think of us.
