Today at 4:15pm Jane came into my office and informed me that I had a surprise waiting in the front office. Now, the last time I heard words like that, my wife was telling me that she was, indeed, pregnant. Today, however, it wasn’t anything like that (whew!).
Instead, when I went out to the front office, I found my wife and all of our four children waiting expectantly to give me a warm welcome, a cuddly hug, and a cold 44 ounce coke direct from Sonic.
Now that may sound like a small thing to you, but I can’t get it out of my head. I felt incredibly, completely, deeply loved. I felt special. I felt valued.
It was awesome.
Completely.
Thank you Kristen, Emmy, Caedmon, Hallie, and Cannon … I only hope I can make each of you feel (always) as you made me feel today.
Love, Daddy
P.S. Kris, I was really impressed that you were able to buy the drink before 4pm, as well … half-price happy hour at Sonic rocks! You go, saver!
