Full-time working dad

.Dear Husband, Thank you.

The last post I penned in this space of mine was probably a few years ago when Leisabelle was still in my belly. I finally reopened this space of mine and I would like to pen this post after a very long time for the one who made my life a fulfilling and purposeful one. 

Many people talked about how challenging it is being a full time stay at home mom (SAHM).  I totally agree that IT IS challenging, but at the same time IT IS fulfilling.

 I would like to extend my appreciation and delicate this post to my husband. 

A Full-time working dad.

Dear Husband,

Thank you for making me a SAHM to be absolutely involved in growing stages of our beloved child. I want to let you know that I understand. I understand every morning when you head to work you miss us. The feeling of missing what we will be doing today because you need to be at work to support our family. I know that you love us so deeply and would really want to spend time with us whenever you can even when you know you needed a rest.

I want you to know that I love you and everyday, I thank you for shouldering the burden of our entire household may it be financially, physically and emotionally. I truly appreciate everything you have done for us.

Each time when we (Leisabelle and I) were out having learning activities, you are always in our mind. We talked about you, we made crafts for you, we miss you and you are always the topic we talked about. You may not be physically there with us, somehow you are "there" with us all the time. We explore places and Leisabelle always remember you and tell me, next time we come with daddy. You are an amazing role right there deep down in her heart. 

Because of the choice that you made allowing me to be a SAHM and taking up the sole responsibility of providing for the family, it was made possible for me to engage our daughter with beautiful memories of being there for her and with her growing up. To be there to nurture her and build up a strong, resilient yet kind and compassionate character in her. Thank you for making this happen in us. Without your support and understanding, this can never be made possible!

Leisabelle talks about you, and she is proud of you, proud of having a dad who works to help others. She would always say to me : Daddy needs to go and help others. He is good daddy, he helps others to feel better. Daddy is very very good. I want to go to Orchard to help daddy in the clinic too.

Other than being what you are good at in work, you led an absolute amazing fatherly character in the life of our girl. A father who is kind and compassion, a father who helps others in need. She looks up to you in every single way. Thank you for being that role model in her life and also the leader in our household. 

Not only you provide for us, you lead us to the life you want us to have. I know you have been working very hard for that. To one day be able to take our family off for a long adventure, to live in forest, to be with nature, to swim with fishes, to dive into waterfalls and to breathe, sleep and learn from the mother nature. Thank you for working so hard for our family, for me, for our daughter to provide the quality of life in Singapore. We truly appreciate all you have done for us. Thank you and thank you. 

We love you always,

Seven and Leisabelle
