my love,

All things come from you. Through you, we have two wonderful and amazing children. Through you, we have learned to be caring and kind. Through you, we have learned selflessness and perseverance. This life, this ridiculous, little life of ours, full of laughter and seriousness, full of worry and seriousness, full of silliness and honesty. Every day I witness some nuance of how to be better, to be a better father, to be more than I ever thought I would be. So thank you. Thank you for being strong for them when I was weak, for being the soft hand when I only knew how to be the stern voice, for holding all of us together when we were tired and falling apart.

love, always
me
