Single Dad Christmas

It would take a Christmas miracle for him to love me back.

Hiring Paul was the best decision I ever made—for me and for my kids. With his calm steadiness, fierce love, and unmatched organizational skills, he became part of our lives. Part of our family.

He always said he'd stay for two years, just until he was ready to travel the world. I always knew he’d leave. But that didn’t stop me from falling for him.

Now he’s handed in his resignation, and I’m faced with a choice: tell him how I feel and ask him to stay… or let him walk away without ever knowing he was everything to us.

I’ve got one Christmas to find the courage.
