Let’s not pretend life is a clean, Pinterest-worthy photo. It’s more like a spilled milk, missing sock, “who forgot the soccer practice?” kind of life. “The family is one of nature’s masterpieces,” said George Santayana. Yeah, a masterpiece that sometimes has toaster crumbs in the butter dish. But that’s the charm.
I love this quote from an unknown source: “A good husband is someone who can cook dinner, fix a toy, and still remember to kiss his wife goodnight.” It’s the little things, you know? The “thank you” when she’s tired. The surprise coffee run. The willingness to watch that rom-com without complaining until the credits roll.
