I was going through some of my digital pictures. Found a lot of the videos that Dave had made. Still in awe and amazement at him being a first time parent. I know he fathered three kids, but he never made that parenting connection until the littles. He spent his youth and his childrens' youth working to provide. By the time these two came he had more time. And he was such a first time parent. And he felt such joy in it. Especially after we moved and he got to enjoy the good parts and not the 24/7 parts. So cautious and careful. I'm much more laid back. Having done it two times before I'm not so worried about all the small stuff.
And so the pictures made me laugh and made me sad. All the things he did with them that he did. They were things I'm not going to do. No way am I taking them into the river for swimming. And I don't do snow much so no sledding with Nana. We are all going to miss him for a long long time to come.
