Father's Days are pretty awesome! In this case, by the time daddy woke up he realized that no one was asleep, but he could hear sounds and voices from downstairs. He moved groggily down the steps toward the sounds of family, only to find the kitchen door, behind which the rest of the family was operating, closed. In trying to open it he found resistance from the other side and then a face - Irini's - telling him to "go back to bed". It was a friendly sort of directive and he thought there must me something behind this, so he followed directions.
Back up the steps he went and scuffled over and dropped right in, thinking he'd probably go back to sleep for a short while. But it was only a couple minutes later than the gang appeared, breakfast in hand, to offer him an absolutely yummy breakfast of toast, scrambled eggs and a mug of coffee. But the best part were hand written cards from the girls and, of course, hugs and lots and lots of love! The food was downed pretty quickly as soon as the cards were read and requisite appreciation shown. Love is definitely in the air around these parts!
Then, as a bit of a bonus, we were off to our friends house - Maryam, John, Arian and Eva. We're created a sort of a 'bubble' (as they call them in the UK) between our two families to ensure that we have some social connection but without the extra medical risks involved. At their house, as is most always the case, we found friendship and good company and amazing food! We stayed for a while, eating, drinking, celebrating fathers and family, and then headed back home.
It's such a wonderful feeling to have the love that makes the little important things tick. Love to surprise. Love to create. Love to appreciate. Love to support. It takes all sorts of love, and it's all well present in our family!
