H, I was sick this last weekend.

By the time I got home from work on Friday, I knew I felt bad.

On top of that, Pop and Gammies came over on Friday to spend the night.

We all went out to Red Zone for dinner but I felt like a sick teddy bear all jacked up on Advil.

Yes – teddy bear. It sounds better than grizzly bear. Although my disposition was maybe more like the latter.

I thought I had the flu, but it turned out to be a bad sinus infection, I think.

So I told you all that to tell you this.

One of the times I emerged from our back bedroom over the weekend, you stood by mom and in a sweet tone said:

Feel better soon daddy.

First, you said it in a very sweet but formal way.

Your tone was kind while your posture was like you were giving a school presentation.

Adorable.

Second, it still melts my heart when you call me “Daddy.”

I love you.

-Dad
