Feeling like I chose the right husband.

My fiancé and I went to a family event recently, and when I left the room to get food and returned, I found him sitting at the table, surrounded by three of my younger male cousins (middle and high school age), telling stories and asking his advice about various young person experiences, and then listening raptly to his replies. My heart could burst and I couldn’t be prouder of the man I’m about to marry - I love that my family values his presence and that he’s so great at making others feel seen and listened to. These cousins of mine flock to him at every family gathering and I’m not even upset I didn’t get to sit next to him at dinner because the seats around him got taken immediately by adoring members of my family 🥹
