We all love appreciation posts dedicated to us, particularly when they come spontaneously.
For mum Heather Williams it came after she was showering and wiped away steam on the glass so she could keep an eye on her newborn in the bassinet.
When dad Zack came home to see the smudge of the hand on the shower glass, he was taken aback.
He realised how his darling wife never turned their back on the baby, not for a second, not even while showering.
And the awe-struck dad took to Facebook to marvel at his partner to whom the selflessness came so naturally.
‘This morning I came home from the gym, turned the shower on, to get cleaned up for work,’ he wrote.
‘I turned to the door and saw where my wife wiped away the steam from the glass so that she could see our baby girl in the bassinet.
‘I literally just sat there and stared at the glass and smiled. I could see it, I imagined it, it was like I was there in the room with them.
‘I could see Heather just looking through the glass and making faces at Lottie as she smiled and played in her bassinet! I just melted!’
Zack’s sweet tribute to his wife soon went viral, with many tagging Ellen Degeneres to have him on her show.
He took the moment to not just marvel at his wife but also speak to other men who may feel their partner is just ‘at home with the baby all day’.
He continued: ‘I can’t tell you how much this fogged up glass means to me!
‘The fact that my wife can’t even shower without caring for someone else…. tending to someone else’s needs…. get a second to herself to relax.
‘My wife doesn’t get to clock out, my wife doesn’t get the satisfaction of seeing a check deposited in the bank in return of her hard work, my wife doesn’t get to eat lunch with co-workers, my wife doesn’t get to just walk outside and just take a deep breath.
‘This may be just a fogged-up piece of glass to some, but to me, it means so much more.
‘It’s the little things like this that don’t go unnoticed… it’s the little things like this that constantly remind me how badass she is.’
If you know a mum who does a lot of thankless work, show her how much you appreciate her.
