To My Husband on Father’s Day

To be loved by you, is to know unconditional, unequivocal love.

To laugh with you, is to experience a gleeful joy.

To cry with you, is to know the depths of vulnerability.

To be supported by you, is to never feel lonely.

To grieve with you, is to see light in the midst of darkness.

To mourn with you, is to actively heal our pain together.

To watch you become a father, is to be in awe of your growth.

To witness you parent our child who passed, is to experience a profound sense of gratitude.

To feel your hope and optimism, is to be inspired for a better tomorrow.

Thank you for being you. Thank you for being the best father to Maisie.

I love you.
