An Early Father's Day



Report cards haven't been sent yet, but it would appear that Only Child is going to have all A's! She received a certificate for Outstanding Academic Excellence from the President's Education Awards Program. She was rightly proud of the award but was a bit disheartened that it had to come from such a dumb President. She also received a letter for academics; they're not just for athletes anymore... about damn time.

She also brought home this poem that she wrote for English class...

I Love You Dad
by Only Child
05/17/07

When I'm afraid
you're always there
to tell me
it's all right

When I was sick
and couldn't sleep
you held my hand
the entire night

When I was small
you carried me on a pillow
and took me for
a magic pillow ride.

At the Father Daughter Dance
we danced and laughed
until our feet were to sore
to carry on

When Mom went on a trip
we stayed up late
ate lots of cookie dough
and slept until noon

You're a great Dad
and an even better
Best Friend
I love you, Dad


Having a bright child is an awesome thing. Having a kind and caring child is a truly wonderful thing. Having a great relationship with your kid is even better.
