I had a good-dad hubby, too, and also appreciated it and felt secretly smug around the hapless dads; it's one of the reasons I find being separated so hard. But he's still a good dad and I still appreciate it. Thanks for making me realize that. Lucky you, indeed, Denise–and lucky him for having a wife who is open with her love and appreciation.
