I found this note the other day. I was cleaning out a drawer in Aidan's room. I am so thankful that I saved it. It is probably one of the last things that my Dad wrote to me. His handwriting is perfect, just the way I want to remember it. His words are profoundly tender and I want those days back! I loved that my Dad could be tender and sensitive and express his love for us. I copied the note here so that I would always have a place to go and see it. If you read it.... please remember that our earthly Fathers love us with the depth that seems unending. "How much more does your Father in heaven love you..."

Letter from Dad, found June 2011
I found this note the other day. I was cleaning out a drawer in Aidan's room. I am so thankful that I saved it. It is probably one of the last things that my Dad wrote to me.

June 2001
Aidan played T-Ball for his second season! I think Daddy was pretty proud... (and Opa too!)
Aidan had experience on his side this season and it paid off! He was hitting routinely and throwing further with each game! As you can see from these photos, we missed some balls, too!
Although I am not an athlete, I appreciate more and more as we raise our kids the lessons learned from playing sport. Aidan had days that he didn't want to go... our response was "You have to finish what you started" (perseverance) Aidan would say he was bored.. our response "Cheer your teammates on"! There are lessons learned here on the field. Gotta love it!
