I came home yesterday evening after working 12 hours. I went into the bathroom to get cleaned up and ready for dinner. I noticed my daughters bassinet in the bathroomā¦
I asked my wife if she had put her in there, and how she did in it. She said that she put her in it as she had showered during the day. We continued to talk about how good she had been and how much sheās growing up and so forthā¦
This morning I came home from the gym, turned the shower on, to get cleaned up for work. I turned to the door, and saw where my wife wiped away the steam from the glass, so that she could see our baby girl in the bassinetā¦.
I literally just sat there and stared at the glass and smiled. I could see it, I imagined it, it was like I was there in the room with them. I could see Heather just looking through the glass and making faces at Lottie as she smiled and played in her bassinet! I just melted!!!
Itās so crazy to me, how the smallest things can make me so appreciative of my wife. Itās the little sacrifices my wife makes for this family, that would normally go unnoticed. From caring for our daughter 24/7, to caring for me, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the animals, and taking care of herself (yeah right, thereās no time for that)ā¦
It just makes me stop and thinkā¦. I work hard⦠I work long 10-12 hours days⦠I get tired⦠I have stressful days⦠thatās my right, as the working member in the house hold right⦠to be catered to hand and foot when I get off?!?
All she does is have to take care of a babyā¦.
So it should be that she cooks, and keeps the house clean, dishes washed, laundry clean and put up, animals tended toā¦. and Iām a man, have I mentioned my needs yet ?!?
I mean seriously, sheās at home all day after all!
Mannnnnā¦. I canāt tell you how much this fogged up glass means to me !
The fact that my wife canāt even shower without caring for someone elseā¦. tending to someone elseās needsā¦. get a second to herself to relax
My wife doesnāt get to clock out, my wife doesnāt get the satisfaction of seeing a check deposited in the bank in return of her hard work, my wife doesnāt get to eat lunch with co workers, my wife doesnāt get to just walk outside and just take a deep breathā¦.
This may be just a fogged up piece of glass to some, but to me it means so much more. Itās the little things like this that donāt go un noticedā¦. itās the little things like this that constantly remind me how badass she isā¦. itās the little things like this that make me fall in love with her all over again, Heather Williams!
Thank you for being the amazing woman you are⦠it doesnāt go unnoticed!
š I love you My Queen š
