It's birthday week here at the Hughes household. Today marks my sweet J's birthday. He has seemed a bit more at ease with his birthday this year. Perhaps because he is 6 and a half weeks on his way to fatherhood. And since we've been married, he's expressed a great concern over being an "old dad." It was not on his to do list. I often asked him what that meant; exactly, what is an old dad? He didn't ever have a good answer, but he just knew he didn't want to be one.
Then, we started eating healthier and exercising nearly 2 years ago. He's lost about 125 pounds, and has more recently told me that he always told me he didn't want to be an old dad because he thought he was fat and unhealthy and would die early before he saw his children grow up. Kinda made me tear up.
We had our annual "birthday lunch" at my parents' house this afternoon with my family. And with my birthday being on Wednesday, it's not looking good for the diet this week! Maybe the weather will cooperate for some evening strolls though.
Happy Sunday, all! Hope you have a great week ahead.
Hugs and love,
