To whom it may concern,
As a mother and wife, I will never understand you.
I watch my husband as he looks at our children with pure love in his eyes and I will never understand.
He was thrown into fatherhood at such a young age, but that didn't matter. Every single day of the last sixteen-plus years, is for them. All the hundreds of hours he has clocked in that warehouse are for them. His free time? It belongs to them. Countless hours spent on ball fields, backyards, bleachers, auditoriums, toy covered living room floors; it's all for them. It comes to him so naturally, and all despite you.
He took what he never had and capitalized on it. Despite you, his children will never question what a great dad looks like. The answer is there for them to see, every. single. day.
Added bonus: If there's something he needs guidance on, he has a father-in-law who is there whenever he is called. If there's a tool he doesn't have, a task he hasn't quite mastered, a golf ball that needs driven a few hundred yards, his father-in-law is there.
His children have one grandfather, and he encompasses so much love, they never noticed your absence.
Still, I will never understand. My husband is mine and his children's world! He is strong, he is smart, he is funny, he is selfless, he is playful, he is comforting, he is present. He is our home. He is everything a good man, husband, and dad should be and all, despite you. I will never understand, and I am so glad for that.
Sincerely,
His lucky wife.
