-- Believe me, Es, I get it. I feel that same worry every single day. -- But then I hear her laugh, or I see these gaudy Valentine's decorations on my way, or I watch her perform and I just know in my gut that there is nothing in this entire universe that could make me walk away from her willingly. -- Something was broken in Dad. And it broke something in us, too, but not the same thing. -- I know this because you've been unfailingly by my side through everything our lives have thrown at us. You've never once let me feel alone. -- So when it comes to staying power, you've got it. You're more Mom than Dad, but you're 100% and completely you and that's even better than anyone else you could be. -- I won't tell you the worry or the fear goes away because it hasn't for me yet and I don't know when it if it will, but I can tell you that there are feelings that are bigger than that worry and that fear. -- You've got this. And I'm so grateful that you've found someone that wants to do this with you. You deserve it.
