Celebrating a MAN on this International Womens Day
On this International Womens's Day I would like to dedicate a post to my husband - my soulmate, my lover, my best friend. I want to dedicate this post to him because he, 365 days a year, makes me feel strong, important and equal. Not once has he made me feel limited by my femininity, not once has he made a sexist remark.
But even more importantly, 365 days a year, he makes our two little girls feel valued, seen and respected. Not once has he defined them by gender, not once has he put restraints on them or lessened their achievements based on the fact that they are girls. NEVER has he doubted their abilities.
I wish all the best in life for my girls. I wish for them to be surrounded by people like their father. Not men like their father, but people like their father. Men and women who don't judge and classify by gender, who value gifts and abilities regardless of who puts them forward. People who celebrate life in all it's diversity, without judgement.
The photo is of the roses my husband brought home today, the roses he bought in celebration of a nine year old girl and a ten year old girl. Women of the future. :)

How awesome! You, like myself, are very lucky to have a person by your side that appreciates and loves and gives and pushes you! He sounds like an amazing husband and father, and you sound like one hell of a woman! Happy International Womens Day!
Thank you 🤗 I know I am lucky, and by the sounds of it, so are you! 😁
Aw this is adorable. I feel the same way about my dad. I grew up with a working mom and a stay-at-home dad, and the two of them taught me to defy what society taught me about my gender and to know that I could be anything I wanted to be when I grew up--even the president of the United States. Here's to dads like your husband.
They truly make this world a more beautiful place, don’t they? 😊 if most men were like them we wouldn’t need a womens day 😊
Love roses.
Awww ! this is so lovely @lil-mich, and the roses are beautiful. You are blessed to have him.
Thank you@gracefavour I am truly lucky, I know 😄
