Just a song request from a bridesmaid at a wedding he had played. Then he told me the part that made my heart break and heal all at once. He had been taking extra jobs because he wanted to surprise me.
He wanted to save enough money to buy a custom-built rocking chair and a beautiful baby cradle—the ones I had admired but insisted we could never afford. He wanted to ease our financial pressure. He wanted to feel useful.
He wanted to give our baby something special from him. I started crying tears of relief, joy, and guilt. I had feared he was cheating… while he was quietly trying to be the kindest husband and most devoted future dad a woman could ever hope for.
