My Husband is the Strong One

My husband is the strong one.

Physically, he’s the only one of us who can surfboard our toddler out of the park, while babywearing another and pushing a stroller without breaking a sweat.

There’s a reason why dads make that look effortless, because it is.

He’s better at changing diapers, I can’t make the kids hold still.

I sleep better at night, knowing he’s by my side.

He opens jars and kills spiders. Moves furniture and gets things from way up high.

And I’m grateful, not embarrassed.

I could squash my own bugs, but I don’t need to suffer to prove a point.

My husband is the strong one.
