So Caleb (7) just got Guitar Hero 3 and he has already mastered it (on easy). Last night, his Grandma was over watching him while Jen and I were at an adoption meeting. When we came home we asked if he and Grandma played Guitar Hero. He said, “Well I did, but Grandma didn’t. My Grandma sucks.”
Tonight was one of those moments in a father’s heart that transcends the normal. I am sitting on the couch. My son is playing Guitar Hero III rocking out to the tune of “My Name is Jonas“, by Weezer. So now that the peaceful stage is set, enter my 2 year old daughter. I have her blanky draped across my chest as she snuggles in tightly, laying there still and quiet. For almost ten minutes she layed there––motionless, except her breathing; at peace. Time stood still. My heart, transcendent. Life does not get any better than these still, quiet moments…Weezer or no Weezer.
