The Tornado has had a bumpy first year in school, and while it's been better, we keep getting notes about ticky-tack things. It seems as though one of his teachers doesn't like him, for whatever reason.
But I'm here to tell you, this is a special person, with a heart of pure gold. On Valentines Day he asked me to fold a piece of paper for him so he could write a card. About an hour later he gave me the card, all with his own handwriting. It said "I love you Dad, from Luke. I like when we are together." Is that the best thing in life or what??
A week later the kids had off from school for President's Day. I took them to the beach in the morning, then they played some video games in the afternoon, and we played basketball together in the evening. At breakfast the next morning, he takes a break from eating and says,"I had fun yesterday Dad, thanks." Then went on to recollect the things we did.
The CEO had a meeting that same night so she was gone longer than usual, and as he was brushing his teeth, getting ready for bed he looks up at me and says,"It's been a long day of work for Mommy, I miss her." I picked him up and carried him to bed, and gave him the biggest hug ever.
He's pure gold, and I couldn't love him any more than I do.
