"For the longest time, I told my friends that I’d rather be the cool, slightly eccentric uncle who spoils his nephews, nieces, and friends’ kids and teaches them inappropriate things like how to roll joints and how to dance with big booty girls. And I was completely content with that until I re-traced your marriage with Dad. Since I was a toddler, I’ve watched you both work together, argue loudly at home about the business, celebrate the successes, cry when I f-kd up badly, and ultimately laugh together. I see your relationship as the framework, the shining example of what a real, lasting marriage looks like: a couple that works together as a team, teaches their kids and family compassion and integrity and how to navigate an oftentimes unfair, cold world, treats everyone with respect and kindness, and never forgets to enjoy their lives together on vacations or exploring the world. If that’s not the ultimate couple end game, I don’t know what is."
