Check your wife

Check your wife.

Not just if she’s okay, but really okay.

Did she eat today?

Did she get to rest, or did she spend the day chasing little feet and cleaning up little messes?

Did she get a moment of silence, or was her head filled with crying, calling, and chaos?

Check her heart.

Is it heavy? Is she overwhelmed but doesn’t want to bother anyone with her feelings?

Is she tired of being strong all the time?

Check her eyes.

Are they tired from all the things she’s trying to hold together?

Are they longing for a little affection, appreciation, or just a simple, “Thank you, love”?

Check your wife.

She’s not just the mother to take care of a child or children,

She’s still the woman who once dreamed of her own life too.

And sometimes, all she needs is someone to say,

“Love, I see you. I’m proud of you. How can I help you today?”
