yesterday oldest daughter was engrossed in some sort of entertainment courtesy of nick jr and nick's games. and while playing she received an i.m. from the husband.
when i came back to my laptop last evening, i read this delightful exchange.
the husband:
hey
oldest daughter:
hi, it's (oldest daughter)
the husband:
hi (oldest daughter)
can you have mom call me?
oldest daughter:
sure thing dead man.
daaad?????????
the husband:

oldest daughter:

the husband:

when mom gives it to you
oldest daughter:

i just want to have fun.
the husband:

oldest daughter:

the husband:

oldest daughter:

the husband:

oldest daughter:

the husband:

oldest daughter:

and that was it. apparently the children had been promised chocolate. so i dug into the husband's secret chocolate stash and handed out reese's treats to eager children.
and i re-read the sweet conversation between a dad and one of his girls. and i felt gratitude. gratitude for a man who expresses love so freely to his family. gratitude for a man whose children love to joke and tease with him. gratitude for a man who works so hard for his family and still finds time to check in throughout the day.
i love that man. and that daughter.
p.s. oldest daughter did give me the message to call the husband. but i got busy and forgot. i don't even know what he wanted still. i'll have to remember to ask him.
