Your Kids Make You Mortal

by Lars Hindsley on Sun 27 Jul 2008 03:06 PM EDT | Permanent Link | Cosmos

A picnic was rained out today. The kids are playing with things and getting into things for fun.

My youngest son comes in wearing my shirt down to his knees.. "Look daddy. I'm gonna grow up to be just like you!"

This sticks in my throat with honor and just then his older brother steps in behind him... "I'm gonna get there first."

You don't have tears, just s warm smile inside. A train of thought runs along inside me. I mostly think about how I've put everything I am into these boys. I just want them to find their way and do everything I've ever done, better.

A minute later you get... "Daddy, can you make me a paper airplane?" May they not grow up too fast.

How beautiful to experience. Many parents do not hear such wonderful accolades. Consider yourself a dynamic parent as well as a hell of a good Dad.

WHY MOSTLY PHOTOS OF LARS?
The answer is simple. It's to protect my friends privacy. I'm not a narcessist. LOL

Lars Hindsley is a self-employed single full time father, a writer, a non conservative Republican, a reformed idealist (a compromisationalist), ex-musician, God fearing cynic that could more easily be described in two words as a "Rugged Intellectual".

Lars offers perspective from an Anglo-Christian moral position while never lording over anyone unlike himself. Lars is of the opinion that if you are going to complain, you should offer a solution.
