Thank You, Love

 To my husband,

Thank you for putting your career on hold for me.
Thank you for setting aside your dreams to support mine.

I know that, as a man, it’s not always easy. And that’s exactly why I appreciate you even more. You put me first, even when it challenges your own sense of self.

You let me fly higher and higher while being the one who helps me spread my wings.
You let me pause when I’m tired, and you make sure I keep smiling when the rainbow appears.

When the storms come, you're always ready, ready to catch me if I ever choose to stop flying.
You’ve made it clear that if I ever want to give up, you’re ready to carry it all alone.
You’re my safety net, my steady ground, the one who makes sure we’re always taken care of, no matter what I decide.

You know how much I love to fly, so you let me soar.
Only I truly know how much of a real man you are. 

Happy anniversary.
