I'm glad I have a few years until he starts paying attention to girls. Or decides it's not cool to sit by your dad. Marla, thank you again for such a thoughtful comment.

I'm sure this tradition of yours will be talked about a lot when you and your grown kids sit around talking about the good old days.

“I am sitting by my dad!” Wow…if that is not validation, I don't know what is. Just remember there will be a day when the cute girl on the bus will have more allure than dad, but he will ALWAYS remember you were there, and even better, that you took the time to be silly and jump in mud puddles.

Savor each moment, memorialize as you are doing in photo and in word, as a mother of two grown boys, the time goes by way too fast.

Thank you.
Your biggest fan.
Happy Sunday!
