Your Day

Daniel,

When I was six years old, there was a time when my Dad was a single parent and it was just the two of us in a small apartment on Roosevelt Road.  I was in first grade, and before school my dad would gently wake me and then carry me over to our couch and turn on The Bozo Show while he finished getting ready for work.  It was a nice, slow way to wake up and I remember how peaceful I’d feel in those moments (I also remember thinking Bozo and Cookie were AWESOME).  It is this same quality, the essence of these feelings that I see Grace and Noah experiencing with you.  It is truly gentle fathering paired with this completely unreserved way that you love with your whole heart.  Since you I and I have had 13 years to grow up together now, it has been an amazing thing to watch you grow into this role while also growing into mine. I just wanted to say so.  I love you, we love you.  Thank you.
