The world needs more dads like you. and my husband, he is like that too.
My youngest spent a whole day working her little 8 yr old heart out on something, trying to keep everyone from seeing it. SongRider had left to go to band practice or something and when he got back, and I didn't even see her do this...... but she made a cut out of HER vision of her dad. This cutout looked like him, in her head, she had made a cutout of a guitar and glued it to it, made it look like he was playing guitar and went in there very quietly and set it gently down in his office chair so that would be the first thing he seen when he went to check his ebay stuff. It was so sweet.... the look on BOTH their faces was so priceless.
When holidays approach, she makes a whole week long process out of them, bringing us cards, making cakes or cookies or whatever, doing OUR chores for us, and things like that.. she is ever so mindful of US..... all of my kids are, but she is the one that's the most mindful of how WE feel.
