Stepping Up For My Wife

My wife has been very sick.

The last few days, I’ve had to pick up a lot of the slack with the daily activities. I’m not saying that to make myself seem like a hero. It’s my responsibility as a husband and a dad, and Jules would do the same for me.

This time felt different.

Usually if Jules is sick, she stubbornly pushes through the pain and still get her work done. But not this time, this time she was sick sick. I’m talking on the couch for two days straight.

Although I hate seeing her sick, I felt very grateful and proud that I was there and that she could depend on me.

I was able to tell her “babe, go back to bed. I got this, get your ass back on the couch.”

I felt proud.
