“I came home yesterday evening after working 12 hours. I went into the bathroom to get cleaned up and ready for dinner. I noticed my daughter’s bassinet in the bathroom.
I asked my wife if she had put her in there, and how she did in it. She said she put her in it as she had showered during the day. We continued to talk about how good she had been and how much she’s growing up and so forth.
This morning I came home from the gym and turned the shower on to get cleaned up for work. I turned to the door and saw where my wife wiped away the steam from the glass, so she could see our baby girl in the bassinet.
I literally just sat there and stared at the glass and smiled. I could see it, I imagined it, it was like I was there in the room with them. I could see Heather just looking through the glass and making faces at Lottie as she smiled and played in her bassinet. I just melted!

It’s so crazy to me, how the smallest things can make me so appreciative of my wife. It’s the little sacrifices my wife makes for this family, that would normally go unnoticed. From caring for our daughter 24/7, to caring for me, cooking, cleaning, taking care of the animals, and taking care of herself (yeah right, there’s no time for that).
It just makes me stop and think.
I work hard. I work long 10-12 hours days. I get tired. I have stressful days and that’s my right, as the working member in the household. I have the right to be catered to hand and foot when I get off?!?
All she does is have to take care of a baby.
So, it should be that she cooks, and keeps the house clean, dishes washed, laundry clean and put up, animals tended to… and I’m a man, have I mentioned my needs yet?!?
I mean seriously, she’s at home all day after all!
Mannnnn… I can’t tell you how much this fogged up glass means to me!
The fact that my wife can’t even shower without caring for someone else, tending to someone else’s needs. She doesn’t get a second to herself to relax.
My wife doesn’t get to clock out, my wife doesn’t get the satisfaction of seeing a check deposited in the bank in return for her hard work, my wife doesn’t get to eat lunch with coworkers, my wife doesn’t get to just walk outside and just take a deep breath.
This may be just a fogged-up piece of glass to some, but to me it means so much more. It’s the little things like this that don’t go unnoticed. It’s the little things like this that constantly remind me how great she is. It’s the little things like this that make me fall in love with her all over again, Heather Williams!
Thank you for being the amazing woman you are… it doesn’t go unnoticed!
I love you, My Queen.â€
