My dad never liked my husband. He believed I deserved a better man. On our wedding day, he looked worried and kept asking me, “Are you sure this is what you want? Are you sure he’s the one?” I said, “One day, you too will see his good side!” He nodded.
Last week, Dad had a stroke. The moment I told my husband, he was at work preparing for an important meeting. He canceled it and ran to be by my side, making sure that my family and I were fully supported.
Later, I went to my parents’ house to pick up some of my dad’s things for the hospital. When I opened his drawer, I was shocked to find many photos of my husband next to photos of our kids. I know how much Dad cherished photographs and only kept the ones he truly loved close to him.
That proved to me that the years had made him warm to my husband, accept him, and even love him. I am happy to say that Dad’s intuition was wrong after all.
