Signing Off

Sorry I haven’t written in a while I have been overwhelmed with work and with Wyatt. We’ve been traveling as I told you about in my previous post and now I’m behind at work and at home. My lawn is out of control! I have saved all my blogs in hopes that Wyatt may read them some day and see how much his father has cared for him and if you have the time I encourage you to write down your feelings and thoughts about your children. I have to be honest, each time I sit here and write I’m nearly in tears before I’m finished. Not because I’m sad, but for the overwhelming affection I have for my son. Thank you for reading my ramblings. God bless you and yours.

Priceless

Wyatt retuned home from a week long vacation with his Mother last Friday and as I hoped he was more than thrilled to be home again. He received a small blue stuffed puppy while he was gone and was quite insistent it needed a puppy doghouse to live in. Wyatt didn’t know it but I would have built him just about whatever he asked for as I was just as thrilled to have him back home again as he was to be here. So we made a trip to the local hardware store to purchase the necessary materials to build a small puppy doghouse…for a small blue stuffed puppy dog.

We worked all day Saturday Wyatt and I, well mostly me as Wyatt explored every tool in the garage. It was a perfect day, Father and Son side by side laughing and talking about anything that interested a four year old boy. A trip to the snow cone stand capped off the day as we celebrated our achievement. A small puppy doghouse painted yellow with a red door…for a small blue stuffed puppy.

It’s a cliché I know, $10 for hardware store materials, $.75 for a snow cone, an afternoon spent building something, anything, with your child, Priceless. But it’s the truth, I would gladly pay ten times that amount to have those moments and make those memories with Wyatt. Thank you Lord for that priceless opportunity.
