“The best inheritance a parent can give his children is a few minutes of his time each day.” - O.A. Battista Happy Halloween! “Dad, can you snuggle with me tonight?” my daughter asked as she rolled over, threw her arm across my abdomen, and rested her head on my chest.
Randy, you know I can't resist your pieces that involve your daughter and your example of fatherhood. This one was especially warming to read though. Remembering that everything will come to an end, even those nighttime/morning snuggles makes us more present for them now. Thank you for the beautiful reminder.
That photo is definitely worth more than a thousand words.
Gah! So sweet!
This is so lovely. Hoping you get more snuggles, Randy!
Beautiful post, Randy! The photo at the end is a lovely touch too.
"I don’t know when my daughter will ask me to snuggle with her for the last time, but just in case it was this morning, I wasn’t going to miss it."
Best use of your time.

Randy, you’re the best.
“I love you, Dad.”
“I love you too, sweetheart.”
May this echo for your life.
