On Papas Day
Pat got up at 4:30 AM, as usual on sunday mornings, woke up sleepy-head L, went to the ice rink, taught her the art of floating on ice, drove back at 6:00 AM to bring her back into my warm and still very quiet bed (instructing her NOT to wake up Mama and Lulu), raced back to the rink, had his morning skate and walked back into the house at 9:30 AM.
He finds me in the kitchen, grumpy and tired, since L wasn't into sleeping after her exciting morning with Papa and Lulu was crying for food but didn't know what she wanted "I just don't know" was the answer I had gotten to any breakfast suggestion that had come across my lips.
He takes my face into his huge and warm hands, looks into my eyes and says "Let me take them to a movie and you go and take a nap".
I refuse, of course, since this is supposed to be his day of being spoiled and pampered (even though I wasn't the best at it at that point).
I tell him that "We'll do whatever you want to do. This is your special day!" and he replies "Well I want to take my girls to a movie with popcorn and a soda and I want you to take a rest. Simple as that!".
He tells me how great I am every day, even though or maybe because I never believe him and just shrug it off as a bad joke.
He tells us that he loves us every singe day, many, many times, he reads our wishes from our lips and never says no to any of them, he loves these girls so much that it just melts my heart and he never tires. He is always the go-to guy, helps everybody in need and does it always with a smile.
Not once, in those 10 years that we have known each other, has he spoken an ill word to me or was mad at me.
Not once has he given me reason to worry or to grieve and when everything else is going dark on me, the world seems like a sad place, tears are rolling, worries are near, I just have to reach out my hand and am sure to find his near by, always ready to hold and support me, just like he promised he would.
And if there is one thing I am certain about, it's that this hand will be there for me as long as the big and warm heart behind it beats.
And while I am standing in my kitchen this morning, my face in his hands, I am once again grateful for the wonderful and amazing man standing by my side, always and forever.
