’Twas the hour before leaving town for Thanksgiving, and all through the house, suitcases were packed, snacks were divvied, and the kids were marching out to the minivan. My heart brimmed with gratitude for the adventure we were about to have. I turned to my wife, Hailey, and said, “We couldn’t have done it without you.”

She rolled her eyes and said, “Yeah, no kidding.”

Sensing that this conversation was only going to get worse for me, I slowly backed away, as she said, “You really need to learn how to do this someday!”
