Parenting Across the Miles...

An excerpt from a recent card that Jake sent to Asher for Halloween:

I'm sorry I have to miss trick or treating this year, but I will be home soon

and next year, we'll have a lot of fun!

I love you, little man, be good for Mommy, take a nap, and eat your dinner!

Love, Daddy

I love that this man was hours away from heading to a warzone & he's writing his son things like "Be good for Mommy, take a nap, and eat your dinner!" ...three things that totally stress me out & cause Asher & I to butt heads pretty routinely.

I love that man. Thank you for being my best friend, Asher's daddy, and my partner...even thousands of miles away.
