COME ON DAD
PLEEEEEASE!!!
Today Cade got his wish. He has been parading around a blue paper given to him by his teachers that says a parent can come with him on his ski field trip. Every day we have heard pleadings, begging, and oh, it will be so-OOO great if you could only come. Cade has had his heart set on his Dad going with him skiing and raved about how it would only cost him the mere price of $51.00 to spend the day with him....what a BARGAIN...how could his Dad pass it up? Chad has been extremely busy...more than usual...especially today of all days. An office party to conjure up, fires to put out, short staffed at work, meetings, and a guest speaker at our wards Enrichment night.
Cade absolutely LOVES to ski...especially with his Dad. He prepared all his gear last night, stuffed extra snacks in his coat pockets....just in case, and fluttered his baby blues one more time at his Dad who walked in from a day of work at 10:40 p.m. Cade could hardly sleep and waited to hear his Dads footsteps on the wood floors. Pleeeeease! I really just want to ski with YOU dad! This morning no promises were made....except, I'll try my best, ( which is the saying we always leave with our kids when they are expected to do something). The phone call came early afternoon...Hon, could you pick up some food for the office, call so and so and make sure the overhead projector is working, grab some ink and oh, I won't be at the office when you come by.....I'll be out SKIING with Cade O! Love ya....
My heart fell today...mostly from joy and love for the man I married. I just know Cade is having a BALL out on the slopes with his Dad today. I can't think of a better CHOICE.
If you make the time for your children in their growing years...they will make the time for you when they are grown--author unknown
Time together....worth WAY MORE than $51.00.
