My daughter and my NSV

So...yesterday my daughters had a friend over to play when the ice cream truck rolled by. My youngest grabbed her wallet and ran out to buy her favorite goodie. She came back with a drumstick in hand. They were all talking about it (they hadn't seen one before) and brought it over to show me. I looked it over and handed it back.

My daughter's friend commented "Wow, you are so lucky, my dad would have taken a huge bite out of it." Then my eldest daughter replied with "My dad would have too....a few months ago. But now he's Healthy Dad!"

I don't know how much they thought I could hear (I was at the computer furiously sending out resumes and applications) but it totally made my day in an otherwise rough stretch of life.

My new moniker: Healthy Dad! (Hmmm...maybe I should create a super-suit. Carrot-colored, with cranberry tights and a blueberry cape? LOL)

    That's awesome brother. Stay strong in what you are doing and continue to be the good example you are for your kids. They ARE noticing, as you testified to, and they will follow in your footsteps of good health.
