I couldn't think of a better way to say thank you to Norm for being such an amazing Father than showing a little video of the special bond he shares with Norm Jr. It really is amazing to see these two together. I know that Norm Jr. truly thinks of his dad as his best friend. Anything cool or fun, must be done with dad. I know that these two will continue to grow as father and son and I'm lucky enough to be a by-stander of this great friendship. Here's a few things that I love about Norm being a father:
*The way you take time everyday, no matter how busy or how tired, to share a special moment with your son
*When you read him stories, you very seldom read the words off the pages. Instead you make up your own which makes the story all that much more fun and exciting
*Instead of doing everything for him, you take the time to show him and teach him how to do things to help him become more independent
*Your millions of nicknames that you have created for Norman in four years
*You seem to find a way to turn everything into a song or jingle which Norm Jr. thinks is the funniest thing
*How you'll spend hours trying to set up the coolest train track that you know he'll love
*Most of all, I love that when you ask this boy who is best friend is, with no hesitation he answers, "My dad"
So Happy Father's Day to you my love on your special day. I am blessed to have you in my life and for you to be my constant companion in these years of raising our children. We love you.
"You will have significant experiences. I hope that you will write them down and keep a record of them, that you will read them from time to time and refresh your memory of those meaningful and significant things. Some may be funny. Some may be significant only to you. Some of them may be sacred and quietly beautiful. Some may build one upon another until they represent a lifetime of special experiences." Gordon B. Hinckley, 2006
My husband started writing this blog back in January 2010 when he left sunny Florida to begin his dream of becoming a doctor. We lived in Dominica, in the West Indies, for 16 months. Since then, we've lived in Michigan, Maryland, New Jersey and we've now set up shop in New York. Join us as we journey through the ups and the downs of surviving medical school with a family.
