“The nights I leave my comfy spot on the couch beside your Daddy to snuggle you instead. The nights I lie there, smelling your hair and studying your beautiful face. I will remember them for the rest of my life.”

“The nights I leave my comfy spot on the couch beside your Daddy to snuggle you instead. The nights I lie there, smelling your hair and studying your beautiful face. I will remember them for the rest of my life.”
“‘Thank you for being the best husband and father.’ She talked to him like none of us were in the room. She told him all the things she was going to miss without him. Although he couldn’t respond, you could see in his eyes he knew her voice.”
“‘I’m gay.’ Their tone immediately changed. In a tense manner, they said, ‘Well, you won’t be donating today.’”
“Holding down my screaming daughter for the third time that night felt like torture. Little did I know, that night was just the beginning. She kept looking at me confused, wondering why I was allowing someone to do this to her.”
“I’m not talking about math or spelling or reading. Someday, you’re going to need to know these expensive lessons life is teaching you right now.”
“I haven’t kissed or hugged my husband who works on the frontlines as a nurse in weeks. Every night, I must reassure my 5-year-old that no, daddy’s not going to die. But when the lights go out, I worry about the same thing. There I was, instantly sobbing because someone decided to lash out on me for breathing air.”
“‘I love you, Daddy!’ she said. ‘I love you, too, Baby Girl!’ Then she said, ‘Don’t get coronavirus, Daddy!’ He paused. My heart fell into my stomach.”
“The teenager who’s frustrated and full of attitude? She’s lonely and misses her friends. Your spouse who’s been short tempered? He’s carrying worries he’s too afraid to communicate. The friend who forgot to call back? She’s overwhelmed and just doing the best she can to get by right now.”
“My husband is considered essential and is still able to work. Everyone at his job is basically walking on eggshells. It’s hard not to worry about him being exposed and bringing the virus home to us. There’s only so much distance you can put between yourself and another person in his line of work.”
“Date nights were our peace in the beautiful chaos of family life – our time, just you and me, together. Date nights reminded us our marriage was a priority, before being daddy and mommy. I miss the romance, break from the ordinary, and the routine too.”
