odin handed me the father’s day gift he made with a big smile after breakfast.

hmmmm. a jar simply labelled “dad 2013” with twenty or so slips of paper inside. what could it be?

each slip of paper had a statement of something he loves about me.

“i love that you make me laugh.”

“i love that we go on long bike rides.”

“i love that you read to me.”

“i love that we make stuff together.”

“i love that your [sic] building me a treehouse.”

and on and on. i started to get a little teary reading them all. such a fabulously thoughtful and wonderful gift from a fabulously thoughtful and wonderful boy.

i will cherish it always.
