A few days ago, my little boy was painting on a Lightning McQueen coloring sheet and conversing with me about some random things. Out of nowhere he said, “Where’s Daddy?”
“He’s at work,” I replied.
“Oh, no. I need to hurry and finish before Daddy comes home.”
“Take your time. Daddy won’t be home for a little while,” I said.
He insisted, “But he’ll be home any minute now.”
“No, honey. He has a lot of time to work and so do you.”
Then he said, “He’s working and working because everybody needs my Daddy’s help.”
“You’re right, Honey!” was about all I could reply. My heart swell. The smile on my face didn’t leave me for at least ten minutes. I could not believe my ears! Out of my baby’s mouth came a matter-of-fact statement that meant the world to me. Even he, a not so three-years-old boy yet, noticed how hard his Daddy works and he made it known that he knew this to be true.
I am thankful for my hubby who works hard…who is passionate about what he does and doesn’t compromise ease for excellence. I am thankful for his love for lifelong learning, of which I have become a very happy beneficiary. Thankful that He has provided him a job, one that he loves doing.
Later that night, Hubby mentioned that he saw my post on facebook about my conversation with my little one that morning. “Ya?” I said, to which he responded, “It brought tears to my eyes!”
Love ya, Babe, and thank you for working so hard to provide for us!
