Moved to tears

This past Father’s Day was wonderful. My son Maxwell is the joy of my life and the center of my universe. If your are also a father – do you remember the beautiful moment when your child began walking?

I played with Max and his legos, read books and watched him walk and stumble. I had to clean up after Max pulled all his socks and pajamas from their baskets underneath his changing table.  Oh…I changed his diapers a couple of times. All in all, a perfect Father’s Day for me.
