Someone once said, "get you. be you. give you." So, you gotta know who you are in order to be yourself and only then can you pour yourself into others. What a gift you can give your family, friends and community if you know how to do those three things. And, I know for a fact that the Dad below does all three of those things very well. And, he has definitely poured his giving into our family as well. And, for that we are beyond thankful. As we were wrapping up the session, I said something like, "ya'll sure have something special." His response was, "we definitely have something." I want to have something. That something doesn't have to be perfect, it's just not nothing. Because nothing is empty. Something has hope in what it can become. And, if having something means being like this family then I will chase after it with all the hope I can muster.

Thanks for a great time! And, sorry for the lame surprise at the end. Next time I will come up with something much better.
