That One

This week has been hard, and he’s stood by me like the rock he is. He’s encouraged me, held my hand, rubbed my shoulders, felt me up, brushed away my tears, held my hair away from my soaked face, made me laugh despite myself, listened to my fears, and opened my eyes. He has rocked our daughter to sleep, before he himself headed back to work for another sleepless night. He has read stories and played games and sang songs. Sometimes I take him for granted. But not today.
