My Whole Life!

Wyatt came home on New Years Eve and I got the big hug I had been waiting for all week! I know he loves me but I can’t help worrying that one of these days when he returns from his mother’s he might shun me like he has her in the past. So far so good.
I did get a great laugh on New Years day when Wyatt said “Daddy, you know what I’ve wanted my whole life?” His whole life? Pretty big statement for a 3 year old!
I laugh every time I think about it. Wyatt wants a TV that looks like a car from a movie he loves.
New Years day was a good time for reflection. I finally put together a scrap book I had bought nearly a year ago. All the pictures, movie stubs and event tickets we had collected over the year. I measured Wyatt’s height, which visually seems to grow by a foot every day. It was a good year for us and as we lay down that night, after reading a few stories, we both thanked God for the year and all it brought us and asked only the New Year be as fruitful as the last one had been.
