Yesterday was my first taste of what the ambiguous holiday of Father's Day was all about. Up until this past November, Father's Day had no meaning to me whatsoever; just another way for golf stores and car washes to make extra money. This time things were different. I received breakfast in bed after sleeping in to a hearty 7:45 in the AM. From there, church, and then a cookout where I was the grill chef. Later, a little trip to Best Buy to discover the wonders of HD flat panel television monitors and Blu-Ray disc technology (believe the hype--they're incredible looking.)
The day was capped off watching some bonus DVD material I never get to see now in the days of Netflix one-and-done viewing.
But the most important thing about yesterday was being with my wife and especially my son, whose whole existence affords me a day of special rest, but more importantly, joy in all that he is and who he is becoming. I can't imagine life without him.
Thank you Jeanelle. You too Big Time.

I'm glad we could make the day special for you!! You really are a great father and of course, a great husband...maybe there should be a "husband's day" :-)
I thought it was the cutest thing when one time we were at the store looking for Mother's day gifts and a little girl was asking her dad if there was a "kids day" I just started laughing because everyday is kids day. But I am glad you guys had a good father's day...it is important!
