It's the Little Things

This morning on our ride to summer camp; rain gently slapped the windshield, the wipers tap a steady beat, it's quiet and she holds my hand.

Then, "Papa."

Tick, tick, tick.

"Yes, Sweetheart."

"Papa, I love you more than Cinderella's Castle, ice cream, Wild Waves, Scoobie Doo and Sponge Bob Squarepants."

You know, when you're loved more than Sponge Bob Squarepants, you achieved much in life.

    I love those moments! My littlest says "You're the best Mommy ever." when she is very happy with me. It always warms my soul! You are a great grandpa, I can tell.

    Thank you, Lila, I do try hard to be the best Papa in her little world. I keep repeating myself, but, she is my heart.
