he saves me.

for all the times you have come home and seen that look of exhaustion and frustration in my eyes and have picked up my slack

for supporting my diet coke habit

for ordering mango sticky rice without even asking me if i want some

for telling me the truth when i ask for it, even when you know it will be hard to hear

for making me laugh every single day

for smacking your lips and looking up and down at the food you want to eat, as if seeking permission

for going and going each day and never complaining once about it

for making me want to be better each day, and making each day more perfect than the last

for being the most perfect father to our girls

thank you for all these things and more. you save me every day.
