Not a Dad-ism…but I was getting ready for work and my daughter came upstairs and asked if I had breakfast yet.  I said, “No…(in a hurried voice).  She walked away and a few minutes later walked back upstairs and said, “what are you going to eat today”?  I said, “probably just a granola bar with peanut butter on it”.  

As I was leaving my daughter handed me this plate (pictured).  I thanked her…and headed out.  

I didn’t see the note until after I moved the napkin…and it hit me right in the heart!

When she was in 1st grade (after her mother died), I used to make her lunch every day and put a post it note message in her lunch box.  She thought that was the coolest thing.  Now I know how she feels…
