Transcript
He’s been really supportive, he hasn’t ever questioned that I’m sick. He knows me, he’s taken on all – not only the dad duties, but the mom duties in our house. And you know he’s making them breakfast, making them lunch, packing their lunch, getting them ready for school, driving them to soccer practice, driving them to baseball. There’s some days that, you know, if I’ve worked and I come home, I can’t make dinner, so he’s making dinner and some days I don’t have the energy to even go upstairs and put them to bed. So I’ll just call out, you know, good night and he is on it and he’s been really supportive.
