twenty minutes

it's all I got to spend with my son tonight after work. Normally I get a couple of hours and it's all sorts of fun and laughter, but I had to do some work with an electrician all night and so I just took a 20 minute break and put him to bed. I thought he'd be disappointed, but instead he was just as excited as can be to have me for those few minutes. We brushed his teeth, got his blankie and Bunny, read a couple of books, prayed, laid down and got an incredible, huge hug from the little man...then another and "tomorrow we'll eat some rice christmas treats, daddy, for lunch" and that was it. I love being a dad.
