For forty years, a woman kept multiple boxes hidden from her husband in the attic.
The wife eventually gave in to the man’s urging and allowed him to open the boxes one day, but when she discovered what was inside, she was horrified and started crying.
Kris Bresnan, an American woman, withheld a secret from her spouse for forty years. It was finally time for her husband to discover what was inside all the boxes that had been kept in the attic for so long.
The two decided to take a vacation away from the bustle of busy New York City after falling in love in 1975, which is truly when the narrative of the boxes began.
When Kris’s husband Bill handed her a napkin during the holidays, she told him it was the finest thing that had ever happened to him and that he loved her. At the end, he wrote the symbol for infinity. That day, they were laughing and playing.
Bill has developed the habit of surprising his wife on a daily basis with a letter, a love note, or postcards that convey his emotions for Kris, the most cherished person in his life. He surprised his wife every day for forty years.
Unaware that Bill had been giving him notes and letters for forty years, Kris preserved them all and stashed them in the attic in no fewer than twenty-five large boxes.
When the couple celebrated their 40th wedding anniversary, Kris told her husband the real reason she had forbidden him from going up to the attic to check inboxes.
He was unable to speak when he was told to look into the boxes. He had no idea that his wife would hide all those letters there and retain them for so long.
Unable to find the right way to express his gratitude for this amazing occurrence, the man broke down in tears and gave his wife a hug. That holiday, the two read aloud to each other the things Bill had said to Kris over the years in a private location. Meanwhile, they celebrated their 40th anniversary in style and relived priceless moments.
Why experts don’t always recommend sleeping with a fan on
Has anyone else noticed that it’s a little… warm right now? Like, really warm? And for many, this deep humidity can have a major impact on sleep – after all, having a bedroom that’s part-snooze station and part-sauna can be pretty uncomfortable. The obvious solution for sleeping in the heat? A fan! Right? Erm, unfortunately (and we hate to be the ones to break this to you) some experts are actually warning against sleeping with a fan on.
According to Sleep Advisor, sleeping with a fan on might not always be a great idea for health-related reasons, as although having a fan on will circulate air to make your room cooler and fresher, it can also circulate pollen and dust. Which isn’t ideal if you suffer from allergies, asthma or hay fever (which has also ramped up for many at this time of year).
“Take a close look at your fan,” the Sleep Advisor suggests. “If it’s been collecting dust on the blades, those particles are flying through the air every time you turn it on.”
Other reasons not to sleep with a fan on include the fact that it can dry out your skin, as well as your nasal passages, and if your nasal passages become too dry, Sleep Advisor warns that the body can produce excess mucous, making you feel all bunged up come morning time. Not ideal…
And then there’s muscle cramping. “People who sleep with a breeze directly on them may wake up with stiff or sore muscles. This is because the concentrated cool air can make muscles tense up and cramp,” the experts explain. “This problem is especially common for people who sleep with it near their face and neck. If you’ve been waking up with a stiff neck in the morning, it might be because of the constant breeze.”
On the flip-side, the article does point out that fans in the bedroom can work well for people as provide comforting white noise to help people drift off to sleep when it’s stuffy.
But if you’re prone to allergies, it could be worth trying other options like a cool flannel in a bowl of water near your bed, or sleeping on top of the covers with the window open. Happy sweating either way, folks!
