Emily, my middle daughter and 9 1/2, said this to me tonight:
Dad, you make everything cool.
I’m going to hold on to that one for a while. I suspect that sentiment is only good for another year or two.

Golly, I hope so.
– Father of Laura, age 10-1/2
You must be doing somethng right, brother. I expect I have another 5 years for m’boy and 22 years for m’girl before they are no longer disillusioned. (I plan on being the coolest guy in her life until she’s married) 😉
But I’ll take what I can get!
Seriously, though. If we clinged to that phrase and applied it to our heavenly Dad, I think it would help change our perspectives on the good times, and the hard times!
Well, so far so good.
Emily (now 10 1/2) asked me to pull up some posts about her. She likes to read what Dad wrote about here, especially the angel conversation.
After reading this one she told me I was cool again.
Whew. 😀
Almost like clockwork, Emily asked today to see some of the posts about her. We came to this one, nearly exactly 2 years later.
I asked if I still made everything cool. “Well, not everything, but most things.”
And so it starts …
My “cool” factor is about as steady as the stock market. Right now I’m pretty cool because I was able to re-install NetNanny so she could cruise the Net again. Tomorrow I will not be cool because I will not let her stay at the house on an early release school day afternoon. I am so dadgum cruel to her sometimes.
