Last Sunday as you all know was Father's day. For the past two years I have been the father to the kids at Casa de Paz and this past Sunday was no exception. Friday afternoon they had their school presentation for Father's day which was great as always. I got to see most of our kids either singing or dancing up on stage. I received a couple presents on behalf of the kids there. All the little kids gave me their Father's day artwork and a present to go along with it. I now have 3 leather coin pouches, a pair of underwear, an undershirt, and scented powder.
The actual Sunday of Father's day I don't think I've ever felt more like a Father. I woke up changed a dirty diaper (I was taking care of the baby that night), Got 10 boys fed (I made strawberry oatmeal), clothed and ready for church; fixed a leaky drain, cleaned out a shower, washed dishes and all that was before church. It made it all worth it though when I finally was able to sit myself down at the table to eat breakfast and Luis looked at me and said, "Happy Father's day".
