The woman expressed her appreciation for everything her husband does for the family, and he felt that nothing could mean more to him than that.
Even in a loving family, it’s always meaningful to hear words of appreciation now and then. One woman made sure her husband knew just how much he meant to their family, offering heartfelt praise for his role as a provider on an ordinary day. Captured by their home security camera, her spontaneous speech touched hearts online. Her husband, Jason Linton—known as @dadlifejason on Instagram—shared the touching moment on the platform.
"We are thriving because of you," the wife said, as Linton was sitting on the dining table and she stood facing him in the living room. She pointed out that she was able to get a new phone because of him. "I was able to get my eyes tested and get my glasses because of you. I am able to have someone come in here and clean because of you," she went on. The wife expressed that she could make a meal for their family and two other people because of her husband. "You are not just keeping us afloat. You are making us thrive." She admitted that she appreciated Linton for the love he lavished on his family.
"You take such good care of us. You are an incredible provider," the wife continued. "And I don't just mean financially, you are incredible to our family." She added, "I had expectations of what you are going to be like, and you have far surpassed them." She shared, "I am so grateful that you are my husband. I just want you to know that, okay?" She went to her husband and gave him a big hug after expressing her feelings and said, "I just love you so much." The husband responded, "I love you too." The caption read, "There is no trophy or Golden Globes that could ever mean as much to me as these words that she spoke in appreciation and love." Linton added, "May these words bless you even if you don’t hear them in your own life."
Many people took to the comment section of the video to appreciate the wife's gesture. @that_80s_dude wrote, "I am a grown man, but this almost had me tearing up. We definitely need to lift up one another for sure." @grey_man_life commented, "What a sweet thing for her to say. It’s easy just to go about life and take these things for granted. Sometimes, people need to hear that they are doing a good job and they are needed."
@primeplaysandparlays remarked, "I don’t think girls realize that this will quite literally make him happy for years. And I mean years. We don’t mind sacrificing our body, we don’t mind sacrificing our time and we don’t mind wearing the same clothes for 30 years if it means we are providing for our family. All we want is to be acknowledged and appreciated for the sacrifice that we make." Another user shared, "Ladies take notes. Men need to hear this. We don’t ever hear good things said to us like this." @nickimarieinc expressed, "I listen to this while looking in the mirror as my new words of affirmation to myself."
