So to make up for Ashlyn commanding me to sit down and not leave (see previous post), my son went and totally redeemed my prodigy. This morning I woke up to a dark house, quietly got ready, typed a few blog comments, grabbed my jacket, headed out to the garage, opened the garage door and snuck into my Jeep. I fired it up, turned on my lights, put it into reverse and began pulling away out of the garage. As I did, I looked out the windshield and saw the house-garage door swing open. My son Caleb came barreling out, barefoot and in his sweats (he refuses to wear pajamas), running through puddles of water, waving. “Bye Dad!!!!” he shouted over and over; his face was gleaming with joy over the fact he woke up and made it outside before I left.
I said goodbye, my face gleaming with joy and heart melting to mush. Talk about those 5-second moments that make your day……actually, my week. Love ya bud!!
