Man Writes Letter To Infant Son, Explains Why His Wife Will Be His Top Priority

When a couple welcomes a child into the world, the newborn becomes their top priority. Both parents sacrifice time, energy (and sleep) to take care of the little one which sometimes results in neglecting the needs of the mom who went through pregnancy and childbirth.

Earlier, a doting husband penned the ultimate guide for every new dad on how to support their wives. Now, William Trice Battle has shared a post for his son Roman Creed explaining why he’ll always put his wife Lauren first.

According to The Sun, the letter outlines why couples should not let their love die with the arrival of a baby. In fact, husbands should try and understand a mother’s love and cherish her the most. Take a look.

“For 9 months, your mother was all you knew.

Before I held you in my arms, your mother held you and never let you go. Before I sacrificed time for you, your mother gladly sacrificed her body. Before I consoled you when you were upset, your mother consoled you with just the beat of her heart. Before I comforted you when you were restless, your mother comforted you with just the sound of her voice. Before I could do anything for you, your mother gave everything for you.”

“Your mother is the reason I hold you today. Before you were even a twinkle in my eye, you were in your mother’s heart. Your life, your safety, and your very existence depended on her. Something I’ll never be able to repay.”

He further added,

“It will take a long time for you to understand the weight, the depth, and the immeasurability of your mother’s love for you. But someday, when you have children of your own, you will then understand what I now see so clearly. So I’ll hold you tight, but I’ll hold your mother tighter because my love for you grows the more I understand the measure of a mother’s love.”

People were touched by his heartfelt words and pronounced Lauren the luckiest wife in the world.

It is wonderful to see a man so attuned to his wife’s discomforts and how beautifully he’s supporting her through all of it, don’t you think?
