Fathers Day

Today is Fathers Day in NZ. I'd forgotten what with the previous night out cheering Waikato on towards winning the final of the NZ Rugby Championship Cup from Canterbury live at the Waikato Stadium in Hamilton. But they hadn't won and we'd trudged home, not shattered but a tad despondent all the same.
But this morning Eden put a smile on my dial when she called me to breakfast out of my uncharacteristic blue funk sleep-in. I stumbled sleepy-eyed out to a plate full of yummy bacon, cheese omelette, bagels & cream cheese and a steaming mug of chai masala tea followed by a sweet Fathers Day pronouncement and delectable kiss. Zeke looked happy too, having already changed his duds and dined. And that is a snapshot of how hard life with Eden can be.

So yes today is Fathers Day - it's Abbas' Day as is every day of my life living as his skillfully disciplined and wonderfully loved son. A son learning to be a Father :)

  2. What a treat to have another "piki-piki- post" ;) I almost thought this was Eden writing until I read the part about feeling despondent by the results of the rugby game. =) Ya'll sure know how to conjure up some picturesque moments! =)
