The Wife is amazing.

She's been going to school for 4-5 years now, starting in CA and continuing as the main reason we moved to Oregon. The college has sent her the cap she would be given if COVID had not been a thing. It's over our bed ready for the day she puts it on when this school quarter is over. To say she is ready to be done with this degree is an understatement, yet she stuck through it.

She continued on, while being an official day care provider in CA, a single parent in OR (in terms of presence) for over a year while I was stuck in CA only able to visit for a week every month (and sometimes I had to miss a month due to finances). She still plans vacations and keeps our kids involved with Girl Scouts, Soccer and other items. Her course work for the degree has included multiple field outings, sometimes intentionally over a day and into weeks while I'm here at home in OR being the single parent. She has been the Mom of sorts for all of the students in those groups when she attends those outings and helps other students in the class with homework items while figuring them out herself as well.

I'm simply very proud of who she is and all that she does as a person and a Mom and am spoiled by what she does as a Wife. Make sure to squeeze your partner and tell them you love them and do those small things that show it because they deserve it.
