Happy Birthday

Wednesday was my husband’s birthday.


I can’t remember the last time he had a more exhausting day than his birthday turned out to be, and we’ve had some tough days in recent weeks and months.  I bought doughnuts to go with breakfast so we could sing to him early in the day, but the box sat on our counter until 6:30 p.m.  The doughnut was the first thing he’d had time to eat all day.  It was  a really crazy day and I wish I’d been able to soften it more.  Relentless days like this remind me what a huge commitment it is for a man to provide for a family.  He does it without complaint.

I am so grateful for him and for all he does in behalf of our family.  He is by far the better parent in our marriage.  I feel so blessed to have him.  He is one amazing man.
