When would be the right time to say this? When you’re already out of tears? When you’re so drained of everything all you want to do is curl up? When it’s becoming hard to breathe?

Father’s Day 💛

You may not be perfect but you’re still the best dad that our kids have. Thank you for being their dad. It’s not easy, I know, but I also see how much you give and do for them and how much you love them, us. We love you back, gazillions of times. 💛 Happy Father’sContinue reading “Father’s Day 💛”

When I Look At You

You came into my life unexpectedly. I never expected love to pass by me, I never expected to love and be loved in return, I never expected You.
