I’ve never thought of what type of man my daughter’s future husband will be until recently.
I came downstairs, tired and grumpy as I always am in the morning. I approached my kitchen counter for my first stop. As I began the routine of making the kids breakfast, packing lunches and making my coffee, I glanced down at his note.
I blushed. I smiled. I sighed.
My daughter Cassidy came beside me and saw the note as I held it to my heart.
“He never forgets, does he mom?”
“No. Never. And I pray that one day, you will find the man who loves you like your father loves me.”
