a thread to my husband on father& #39;s day:
you were just nineteen years old when we found out that i was pregnant with our little girl. as scared & uncertain as i was, YOU reassured me that everything would be okay - simply because you wouldn& #39;t let it turn out any other way.
immediately - on top of being a full time college student & a collegiate athlete - you managed to obtain not one, not two, but THREE jobs to begin saving up for our sweet girls arrival, as you knew that (ironically) her due date was the first day of our fall semester.
remember those spreadsheets you made? the ones that had every. single. diaper & wipe accounted for, so that we& #39;d be sure we& #39;d have enough for her first year of life. i think you even put a "daily amount allowed" column on there as if we could control her bodily functions

we were two young college students, living completely on our own, in a city where our closest family member was 5+ hours away.
you never let it phase you.
you never let it phase you.
she made her grand entrance a week before school started back up. one week was all we had to mentally (& physically) prepare for the hectic & insane journey we were about to embark on of being full time students & parents, with little support.
the journey that consisted of you watching her on your own when she was just ONE WEEK OLD, so that i could go to my classes, & never complaining about it once.
the journey of still continuing to work those three jobs, going to school full time, & being an athlete - but this time adding a newborn baby into the mix. & doing it all with a smile on your face & so much love in your heart.
remember those nights when i had my three hour lecture, that didn& #39;t get out until 9pm? you waited in the car with our baby the whole time, & kept her calm until i could come outside & nurse her on my break, just so i didn& #39;t have to take the bus home because we only had one car...
after all of that chaos we endured for a year straight, until i was able to graduate, you still asked for my hand in marriage at our daughter& #39;s first birthday party.
not because of the simple fact that we had a child together, but because you knew deep down in your heart that after all that we& #39;d been through up to that point, you still wanted to spend the rest of your life with me & continue to set the best example for our daughter
all of those hardships we endured has made you into the most incredible man, husband, & father. i would& #39;ve never, in a million years, imagined i would have someone like you - so strong, loving, & dependable - as the father of my child (soon to be children) & husband.
your patience, humor, love & light that you put out into the universe every single day inspires me to be a better wife, mother, & overall human.
words cannot express how thankful i am that i get to have you in my life, for the rest of my life, to raise our two little girls with & endure all of the other wild journeys that life throws our way
today is your day.
thank you.
i love you...
more than you& #39;ll ever know.
happy father& #39;s day, baby
