dear married man 3 kids by Cindy Beall

Dear Married Father Of Three Kids,
Are you happy? If so, please tell your face.
I see you sitting on the chair at the water park just biding your time. Your kids are overjoyed and are having the time of their lives and you are just sitting there, enduring it all with a heavy sigh and rolling of your eyes, waiting for it to be over. You can’t wait for the day to be done so that you can go back to your cozy den and submerge yourself into a world of ridiculous-ness that is seen on the television.
You have no idea that you are missing life…right in front of your eyes.
I see it in your wife’s eyes. She misses you but doesn’t know what number to use to call you. She can’t find your heart so in the process decides she has to protect hers. Before you know it, there is a huge, brick wall right in the center of your king-sized bed. You haven’t truly seen her in years.
Your children come to you with their accomplishments just hoping they’ll receive an accolade from you, their dad. Only to be recognized with a motion from their father’s hand because they’ve gotten in the way of his precious television show.
You are missing it all. And you have no idea.
So, wake up from your sleep. Snap out of it. Before you know it, you will be a complete stranger to the woman you were once head over heels for. And your children? They won’t come back to visit you because there is no relationship to maintain.
You have no idea how many people would do just about anything to have the life you have.
Don’t believe me? Ask around.
