Dear husband: I know you hate your job–but you will find your purpose

You worked so hard. You did things you didn't want to do for the sake of love. You showed up every day and you wore down your body doing labor that wasn't fun for you. You took care of us and we are so grateful for you. Thank you for showing our kids what it looks like to work hard at things for your family.

We should be the moms that we are. We get to define it, it doesn’t define us.
