“She Thinks I Don’t Notice”: Husband Pens Adoring Note for His Wife as She Sleeps

Bobby Wesson‘s Facebook post about his wife, Rayena, went viral after he snapped a picture of her snuggling with their son in bed, and penned a revealing message about the hero hiding behind the tough mommy mask.

As a devoted nurse, mother and wife, Rayena rarely gets a minute to rest, but you won’t hear her complain. This persevering woman never stops giving 110 percent to her family and her patients—and you better believe, her thankful hubby has taken notice.

What was intended to be a little endearing note of public appreciation for his wife has now been shared, liked and commented on by over 1 million people who have been touched by her self-sacrifice:

This is my wife taking a nap. In an hour she will wake up, put on her scrubs and get ready for work.

The tools and items she needs to perform her job will be gathered and checked meticulously – her hair and makeup will be done quickly. She will complain that she looks awful. I will disagree, emphatically, and get her a cup of coffee.

She will sit on the couch with her legs crossed under her and try to drink it while happily playing with the toddler that’s crawling all over her.

She will occasionally stare off blankly as we talk; silently steeling herself for the coming shift. She thinks I don’t notice.
