Dear Husband,
If this global pandemic has taught me anything, it's that life is short, always be grateful, and that you should never take the ones you love for granted. Despite my anxieties about going back into the workforce and leaving you to become a stay-at-home dad, you've shown me you can do it just fine. You've proven to me how truly capable you are in raising our daughters and how soft and firm you are. You've gone above and beyond to make sure the kids did their remote learning and kept them on track when you aren't so tech-savvy yourself. You've not only kept up with their school lessons, but you have also and still do teach them valuable life lessons.
Our girls are only 7 and 9, and I see just how much they've grown through this past year.
I see just how much of an impact you make just by being your firm but goofy self. I admire your strength, determination, and tolerance when it comes to the constant girl squealing when I feel like pulling my hair out after a long day. I appreciate you holding down the fort as I'm away for those long 12-hour days, four or five days a week.
I love how you keep me steady with my mom anxieties and help me just breathe and lean on you. But, most of all, I love how much of a family man you are and that you'd do anything in your power to protect us.
Without you raising our girls full time, I wouldn't be able to fully achieve the career goals that I've worked so hard for.
I want to be someone our daughters are proud to look up to, and I'm forever grateful for you overcoming many obstacles to be the great man you are today. You might feel that some days you can't compare to my accomplishments, but love, you have the greatest and noblest job of them all.
You get the opportunity to raise beautiful human beings that'll change the world one day for the better.
You get to spend so much time with our kids, and it shows just how much they like being around you. I'll have to admit I find your agitation a bit annoying, but the kids love your random eccentric spirit. I adore the fact that you were more than accepting to be an amazing stay-at-home dad and that you always make sure they're well taken care of.
I wanted to write this for you to show my endless appreciation for you, not only just for Father's Day but every single day of life. I genuinely cherish every moment that I get to spend with you guys. No amount of words will ever be enough to express how much you and our girls mean to me. Thank you for being the one with whom I get to share this crazy life with, and have a wonderful Father's Day.
Love,
Your Wife
