Husband surprised us at doctor appointment

Yesterday I had an appointment set up to take my girls (3&5) to get their flu shots at the pediatrician. We park and start walking in and out of the corner of my eye I see a man walk behind us and hold my daughters hand. I whip around in surprise and my husband had followed us in, surprising us all by taking a break from work to come down and meet us at the office. He said he didn’t want me to always be the only one to do the hard stuff (kids hate shots) and came along to help and support. It was the absolute sweetest thing ever and the girls were so thrilled and surprised their dad came to hold their hands while they got their shots.

The bond is strong. ❤️❤️ #jukinmedia https://t.co/pALpTpt4KT
