Today was I had one of those moments that make you feel like your a little kid again. A few days ago my dad asked if I could come over and help him with a small toilet issue. As usual the small issue turned into removing the toilet and replacing the wax ring, which turned out was rather easy and we blasted it out quickly. The after a little visiting time and catching up, he asked for one more quick favor, To help change the lawn mower blades, well that did not happen but we did get the John Deer running and he gave me instructions on how to use it and asked if I could cut the front lawn to see how the blades cut. Well I finished the front and headed to e side of the house, when I rounded the other side I saw my dad had brought out his chair and was watching me mow his lawn. I suddenly felt like I was ten using dads mower for the first time, but in a good way. I found myself grinning with joy driving the John Deer around the yard. You see I don’t have a lot of father son memories like this one because my dad was always working and second that was sort of my brothers thing. So now after many moons later in life I am transported to this ten year old little kid full of joy mowing the lawn with his dad looking on with pride…..
I told him that I want to do it again if that was ok, so I could bring my son along to mow the lawn with papa.
P.s. sometimes it’s never to late to just hang out with your dad….

God bless
