Love by Choice

TO A HUSBAND/STEPFATHER

I want to take a moment to thank you for being my partner in raising my son.

When you married me, he instantly became a main focus in your life.
You accepted him by choice.

When the two of you took your first fishing trip together, you gained a lifelong friend.
You spent time with him by choice.

When he was up all night with a virus, wanting mom by his side, you quietly provided all necessary items to tend to a sick child.
You nurtured him by choice.

When the majority of his little league season was spent on the bench, you never missed a game.
You supported him by choice.

When he finally hit his first home run, you were the loudest fan in the park.
You were proud of him by choice.

As he continues to reach new milestones, you stand strong beside him.
You are there for him by choice.

I want to thank you for giving my son a gift more precious than no other.
You love him, unconditionally, by choice.
