Some things are learned over time.
Calvin has noticed this firsthand as he has seen his wife Vania grow in her faith over time. She has become much more reliant upon God as time has gone on, and this is something Calvin appreciates, as it has helped turn their relationship rightside up. His PTSD, among many other things, became a lot more tolerable to Vania when they started going to church and got baptized, and that is something Calvin appreciates.
He also appreciates how much his wife has grown as a friend to others. He has seen such a difference in her, and he chalks that up to their faith as well.
However, as some things are learned over time, other things come naturally. One of said things that comes naturally to Vania is her mothering abilities. She loves her kids more than anything in the world and would truly do anything for any one of them, and for that they are all grateful.
“Our daughter was really sick one time, and my wife had gotten in trouble for too many call-offs,” Calvin said. “She knew there was potential for getting fired and she called off anyway so she could be at home taking care of our daughter. She will not hesitate to do anything for her kids.”
This is just one of the many shining examples of how Vania selflessly loves her children and does anything for them. She makes sure she takes good care of them and keeps them happy and loved, and she is also the reason the house runs as smoothly as it does.
“She is the glue of the household,” Calvin said. “To me personally, I don’t think I’d be able to function without her. My kids rely on her heavily for anything and everything.”
They all just know Vania will be there for them, and that is something they do not take for granted.
Calvin definitely does not take his wife for granted, as he realizes how far she has come and he is proud of her for it. From having a rough upbringing to making countless memories with their children, they have come a long way. He even still thinks back to their ranch-turned-Vegas wedding, which was such a memorable moment because it was a reflection of the amazing changes they have both made throughout the years.
And for Calvin, he is so grateful for how amazing a teacher his wife is. She is of course a great role model to their kids, but also to himself.
“She has taught me to be a better parent, to have patience, and to open up and be vulnerable,” Calvin said. “Because of her I have matured.”
That’s just the positive effect Vania has on everyone. She is always there, always present and always puts her faith in front of it all. She is beloved by her family and everyone else, and rightfully so.
“Our kids want her to know that they love her to the moon and back and they are looking forward to when they are adults who will be able to take care of her the way she has done for them.” – Calvin
