To My Beloved Partner,
I recognize that there are moments when I might seem a bit persistent—let’s say, I offer gentle reminders—about certain chores. You possess an impressive talent for sidestepping the overflowing trash bin without taking action. The laundry hamper, merely feet away, often goes unnoticed as clothes pile up on the floor. Empty glasses seem to multiply around the house rather than find their way to the sink, and your to-do list, including that landscaping project you began three years ago, continues to grow.
However, in the larger picture of our lives, I realize these details are trivial. They can be irritating, but ultimately insignificant. Yet, I sometimes become so engrossed in these minor irritations that I forget to express my gratitude for the countless things you excel at. Most notably, your role as an incredible father.
If I could have designed the perfect dad for our children, it would have been an ambitious wish list. I would have asked for boundless patience, the skill to assist with hours of complex middle school math without a hint of frustration (and ideally, an understanding of what that math entails). I would have requested the willingness to pass down valuable lessons learned from your own father and the flexibility to be there whenever our kids call, even if it means rearranging your work commitments. I would have wanted you to embody an ideal example of manhood, so our children could witness your kindness—turning around to give your coat to someone in need, volunteering at local shelters, and helping others, like a motorist with a flat tire. And of course, I would have ensured you had an endless supply of dad jokes, because what would a father be without them?
Fortunately, I didn’t need to create a custom order. By some stroke of luck, I received all of those attributes and more when I chose you.
You are firm when necessary, despite your discomfort in doing so. Yet, even during those moments of discipline, our kids know you are a softy at heart. They trust that you would go to any lengths to ensure their safety and happiness. You prioritize family, consistently seeking new adventures for us to share.
You impart both simple skills, like how to bait a fishing hook, and important life lessons about treating others with respect and the value of hard work. You encourage them to pursue their dreams, reassure them of your pride in their efforts, and you genuinely mean it. As their most ardent supporter, you are their protector and guide, helping them navigate everything from a broken bike chain to the heartache of growing up.
Like any caring parent, my greatest desire is for the best for our children. I could not wish for a more precious gift—for them and for me—than the father you are. It fills my heart with joy to see you watching over our children, your face beaming with pride and love. There’s an invaluable assurance in knowing that someone else feels the same deep love for them that I do.
It’s easy to overlook the best parts of our lives. Many parents face the challenges of single parenthood, taking on both roles. Some children grow up with fathers who are abusive, neglectful, or absent. I remain eternally grateful for what we have. I will never tire of those moments when I catch glimpses of you with our kids, providing exactly what they need in that moment—be it the fun dad, the firm dad, or the supportive dad—and my heart swells with appreciation.
So while it may seem your socks refuse to find their way to the laundry, and the remnants of your morning shave linger in the sink, I choose to overlook these small nuisances. The minor inconveniences pale in comparison to the immense value of having such a wonderful father.
With all my love,
Ella
