He is the one quietly caring for the yard, pool, and garden; the one who puts gas in both cars, pays the bills, calls the plumber. He's the one there when I call for emergency dinner ingredients, or have to say, "I'm late at work, can you pick up Emily?" or, "could you do the big music lesson commute today?" He's the one with the map, showing me how to get from A to B. He hauls the trash can up the LONG driveway, and brings it down again; he picks up the mail, does a large share of laundry, cleaning, and dishes. He cares for pets when everyone else has forgotten them. He keeps the machinery of our home running smoothly, and picks up whatever slack is left. His steady consideration is always there when decisions must be made--large or small.
Wayne doesn't choose curriculum or schedule activities in our homeschool, but he is the wind beneath our wings. He's principal, custodian, secretary, and board of directors.
