text from cole

On Thursday, Cole asked Mary to send this text to my phone:

"Dear Dad, I love you. I love you so much that you can hear the butterflies flapping in the woods. love Cole."*

That just about makes him the sweetest boy on the planet and my wife the most thoughtful person in my life for sending it.

On a completely unrelated note, I just read this quote:

'Parents are not interested in justice, they are interested in quiet.' -Bill Cosby

Sage words Mr. Cosby. I just realized that, as a parent, I have been neglecting one of the most inspirational philosophical giants of our time when it comes to parenting. My goal for the weekend is to seek out more quotes from Bill and maybe even download a few of his parenting monologues.



*the text was actually written in phone english (i luv u...) but I translated because it seemed to be detracting from the intent.
