I feel lately like everyone just sees me on this journey of life. I feel like the comments and love and constant pats on the back and reassurance that everything will be ok, all comes to me (maybe that's because Kev doesn't have a facebook, lol). I admit that my days are full and my shoulders are broad. I am tough, I think I've always been tough, but I survive because of the man standing in the background. The man that takes zero credit, but is totally OK with that!
As many of you know, Kevin and I have been together for 24 years! He's been beside me longer than he hasn't, if that makes sense. He has held my hand, wiped my tears, cheered me on in every single aspect of life.
Our journey has been nothing what we originally dreamed it would be, but more incredible than we ever could have imagined. Every day is some kind of challenge, but the rewards are sweet. I don't say this because we have a child who needs more of us. I would hope that every day, every parent, sees the sweet rewards and celebrates them. We just might celebrate some that others take for granted.
But Kev, he knows just how to make these moments incredibly special. His life is dedicated to me and his boys. Every aspect of his being is to make sure we are happy and have what we need. I think sometimes he, and most dads, may go unnoticed.
I know that Kev isn't the only one out there not getting the credit they deserve, right? If your husband is like mine, let the world know, let the world see them. Dad's are a huge part of the success of a family and the success of GREAT moms.
Kev will probably freak about this blog post, but it's so deserved. He is the hard work and glue which keeps our family together and happy.
This life doesn't work without my husband, it never could. He is what wakes me up every morning with a kiss and a smile. He is the voice in my head that tells me "I can do this" or "It will all be OK"!
So, To the dads and husbands who stand on the sidelines, silently cheering their wives on as we take all the credit as if we do it alone, Thank you!! We owe it all to you, the "man in the background"!
And to the moms who do do it alone, you are my hero's!!!
