How to Walk Like Superman


From JustAddFather:

Stand tall. Take your first step, head erect, eyes open, watchful; your body resilient, fluid, ready. Take another, and another. The breeze unfurls the cape at your back. You can feel it flapping and waving, a banner you carry for the world to see. There are, perhaps, walls in your way. You walk through them without fear or tension, as if they are nothing. Your rhythm is constant, unhurried, even joyful. You are Superman, after all.

One more thing, I almost forgot. Someone is walking behind you. This is very important. A few yards back, a little boy is watching you. He’s seven, or eight, or nine. He wants to be just like you.

He follows in your footsteps, the whole way.


And remember that he's watching every step, every breath, hanging on every word... whether you realize it or not. Superman is larger than life, and to him (and to her), you are, too.

Making Memories


While waiting to go on the field for Sammy's birthday at halftime, I turned around and saw Kayci standing at the railing in the stands watching. So I went up and got her and brought her down on the field with me. We watched the marching band performance up close and she got to see her old man go out on the field from field level. She really seemed to enjoy it. I hope she did.

Daddy is a weirdo

At some point tonight, Kayci slipped a note onto the back of my shirt. I knew she was doing it, but completely forgot about it. Anout 30 minutes later, Kristi went in for a hug and found the note on my back. This was it:



It says "daddy is a weirdo. ha ha ha."

See what I put up with? I wouldn't trade a minute of it.
