Father's day...
In 2011, Catelyn helped my husband open his Father's day gift. She had tons of experience opening gifts in December (Christmas & birthday), and after that, she couldn't leave any packages alone. It was rather sweet...
...and she was an excellent helper, of course.
Years ago, I worked at a daycare. As a daycare teacher, we tried to come up with fun gifts for parents on their special days. We used the poem below for Father's day. It's a beautiful sentiment...extremely hard for a bereaved parent, but beautiful nonetheless.
"Walk a little slower Daddy"
"Walk a little slower, Daddy!" said a little child so small.
"I'm following in your footsteps and I do not want to fall.
Sometimes your steps are very fast, sometimes they're hard to see;
So walk a little slower Daddy, for you are leading me.
Someday when I'm all grown up, you're what I want to be.
Then I will have a little child, who'll want to follow me.
And I would want to lead just right, and know that I was true;
So, walk a little slower, Daddy, for I must follow you!"
