Yael Edelist We women, or at least me, give our guys hard time for not being always present, for saying the wrong thing in the wrong time, for parenting in a certain way I don’t always approve of, for forgetting important dates, for leaving crumbs on the table, for being late for dinner, for biking half a day, for leaving the underwear in the bathroom and for taking most of the blanket at night.
But if I manage to pause and remember why I love him; The kind man he is, how generous and patient (with me too) he is, how much he loves my kids (that are not his), and my family, how much I love our trips together and eat with him new foods, and go to a good theater together, and hear music, and the fact that we will both be gone in 50 years, I remember how precious the time we have here is and I forget the parts that annoy me.
Happy Father’s Day to all of the guys that fell in love with and married outspoken, opinionated, loving women.
Happy Tuesday,
Yael
Perfectly said! Having lost my husband last year, the memory of those little annoying things have faded away. The love, patience and kindness rises to the surface as I
realize that I too do little annoying things that he always ignored. It is the amazing father and soul mate that I will forever celebrate! Life is short. Break the rules and never regret what or who brings you joy. Happy Father’s Day to the many amazing father’s, mentors and father figures!
Love your very sensitive and insightful thoughts. I feel these are shared by many couples. Thanks for writing them down Yael. Deb W.
