 This little pinky means everything. A husband whose wife recently lost her pinky in a freak accident supported his spouse last week with a simple gesture that has since gone viral on Facebook. 
 
 The wife, Libby Sanders, got into an accident with a screen door in February, and ended up having to amputate her finger in March. Last Monday, May 2, she shared two images on Facebook to illustrate her marriage to her husband, Matt Sanders. 
 
 
 
 "This is who I married. ... " Libby wrote, alongside a snap of her hand on top of her husband's. "I was painting my nails and made a comment that I forget I don’t have to paint my pinky nail on my left hand. I simply forget that I lost my pinky, but it is always kind of a bummer when I am reminded."

 So, her husband came up with a simple solution. "Matt said 'I will be your surrogate pinky. You can paint my pinky to match your nails for the rest of our lives,'" Libby wrote. "And so we did. ... I cannot image a sweeter, kinder man. No words adequately describe our love." 
 
 In an interview with BuzzFeed, Libby said losing her finger was a "pretty rough" experience. Luckily, her husband has been incredibly supportive through the whole ordeal. "I tell my friends and family that I have the guy that runs after the girl," she noted. 
 
 
 
 Matt added that they had no intention of going viral. "It's kind of just us being us," he said. "Neither of us thought much of it."

 Mom of five Libby Sanders shared a picture of her husband's hand, with only the pinky nail painted green. Beside it was a picture of her own hand on top of his. 
 
 Because she only had four fingers on her left hand, her husband's painted nail underneath her fingers appears to complete her manicure, the photo that has since gone viral shows. 
 
 Even as the Jasper couple spoke to InsideEdition.com, Matt Sanders proudly displayed his pinky nail, which was painted burgundy to match hers. 
 
 Matt Sanders laughed to IE.com that he preferred the green nail polish, adding, "burgundy looks like I smashed my nail." 
 
 Libby Sanders said that just six weeks ago, she had to have her pinky amputated. She was shutting the screen door when a piece of the handle broke off, and her finger snagged onto the raw edge. 
 
 "It looked like she bruised it," Matt Sanders said to IE.com. 
 
 "Then it just kept getting worse and worse," Libby Sanders said. "I ended up having to get it amputated." 
 
 Even though she might drop her phone or have a hard time putting her hair into a ponytail, Sanders said she was more or less adjusting to life with 9 fingers. 
 
 But when it comes to painting her nails, "I still reflexively go to paint the pinky nail that's not there. 
 
 She said she didn't realize she looked sad, until her husband reached his own pinky out and said: "You can paint my pinky, and I can be your surrogate pinky for the rest of our lives."

 Matt Sanders said that he intends to keep his pinky promise, saying he fully expects to be "the 60-year-old man with a hot pink nail." 
 
 And even though he often forgets he has a painted nail, he said, "every time I see it, it reminds me of my wife. How cool to see a reminder of her every time."

– Libby Sanders' husband is willing to let her paint one of his pinky nails for life—because she lost hers, US Weekly reports. The Indiana mother of five had her left pinky finger amputated in March after a freak accident with a screen door that seemed mild at first, per Inside Edition, but only got worse over time. Then, last Monday, she posted two photos on Facebook of her hand over husband Matt's; her finger nails are painted light green and so is his pinky, visible where hers is gone. She writes in the now-viral post: "This is who I married.... I was painting my nails and made a comment that I forget I don't have to paint my pinky nail on my left hand. I simply forget that I lost my pinky, but it is always kind of a bummer when I am reminded. Matt said 'I will be your surrogate pinky. You can paint my pinky to match your nails for the rest of our lives.'" "And so we did," she adds. "I cannot image (sic) a sweeter, kinder man. No words adequately describe our love." She says losing her pinky has been "pretty rough" but she describes herself as optimistic and determined to stay that way, Buzzfeed reports. Matt, who named his small ice cream shop after his wife ("Libby's Gourmet Ice Cream") says this is how they are. "It's kind of just us being us," he says. "Neither of us thought much of it."
