Yes, you read that right! My husband doesn’t give me gifts on special occasions and I am FINALLY okay with that.

On a chilly Monday morning, I got off the passenger seat. I opened the door beside you and put on a happy face. “It’s going to be fun!!!” I said as I showed you how excited I was. And then I felt my tears about to fall, my voice started trembling. I didn’t want you to see me cry. I turned my back away from you. Daddy got you out of your car seat as I tried to wiped away my tears. You held my hand as soon as you got off the car.
