I am my wife's husband/boyfriend and my kid's dad

Here is a small list of things that love about being my wife’s husband/boyfriend and my kid’s dad:

Waking up at 5 a.m. to stretch and exercise, so that my wife is visually satisfied
Staying up late to finish one last load of dishes
Working and going to school fulltime, so that my wife gets to stay home with our kids
I love that the kitchen floor always needs to be swept, because it means that my family has food to eat everyday
I love that every room in our home is not always nice and tidy, because it means that my boy’s know that their mom is home and loves them
I love that I can drop everything that I am struggling to carry as soon as I walk through the door and catch my son who has just jumped from the top of the stairs, because it means that he trusts me
I love after 9 years of marriage (yesterday was our 9th anniversary) I still love my wife and it has grown everyday since
I love that my old friendships are not as close anymore; because that means that I spend all of my free time with MY family
I love that I occasionally get woken up in the middle of the night and be my kid’s dad and help relieve my beautifully tired wife
I love that I know that my wife and kid’s love, because it means I am successful
