The Man Who Supports Me

I've known my husband for 10 years. For 10 years he has been my best friend,  my partner,  my lover,  the father to my children.  He has supported me through every adventure I've taken. When Liz was diagnosed with autism,  it was Colby who sat with me. I felt isolated, and he was the only other person in the world who knew my pain.
I feel as if we have lived 1000 lives over the past 10 years. We have moved at least 6 times, lived in 3 states, brought 3 beautiful children into this world, and been through more trials than most people encounter in a lifetime. 
I know that this man is the man for me. He loves me, treats me like a queen, and makes sure that I have everything I need. He supports me in all of my advocacy work and even goes with me to protests. He listens to my political ramblings.
Most of all, this man is an amazing father to our children.  He loves them. He plays with them. He is patient.  I know that he is the best father for my children.
Happy Father's Day, Colby.  You are forever my hero.
