Going through my youngest son’s writing journal for his classroom, I came across this gem that he wrote:
Dads, listen to me: Your kids want you.
For your kids you spell “love” T-I-M-E.
Give them all the time you can. They want you for keeps.

So true. Just time…I think both sets of parents can get so focused on the “what should we do” of spending time with our kids that we forget the “just do” of it…if that makes sense.
thanks for sharing that today
sweet.

I was going to change clothes after work yesterday. My 3 yr old son (whom I prefer to not distract me while I change), said, “Dad, I just want to be with you and watch baseball” (baseball=ESPN Sportscenter, my typical changing clothes fare).
It kind of cut like a knife: He just wanted to be around. So convicting. What a joy to have kids in the first place, and what more that they love to just be close.
