i love being a dad ...
This morning, I gained a new appreciation for my parents ... it was just after the church service that I headed to pick-up Alyssa from her Sunday School class. As I arrived, Alyssa, who had been sitting at the table quietly enjoying her snack, dropped everything to give me a huge smile followed by her blurting, "Hi Daddy!" I got a quick update from the teacher and then headed for the door. "Not so fast" I hear in the background. I turn around to find a stack of coloring sheets and crafts, most of which I needed the teacher's help in interpreting. It was in that moment I realized I had made it full circle ... just 26 years ago, I was the one handing my parents the stack of papers and crafts waiting for their "Oh, wow" and "Did you make that?" comments. So, thanks Mom and Dad for the encouragement and I hope you'll allow me to use some of your lines over the next few years.
