Cookies

It's been many years since I decided that I should celebrate my birthday my way.   I typically take the day off and immerse myself in Christmas fun.   Whenever possible I try to make at least a batch of cookies with my dad and then try to wrap gifts. 

This year I was especially grateful to be able to make cookies with dad.   With his health declining,  he can't do these things in his own anymore,  but they still fill him with great joy.  I want to cherish up these moments in my heart forever.

He's one of those people that has made a forever positive influence on me.   He's very meek and gentle,  a great reflection of his mother's love.   Glad I have such a good dad.
