While most of the time I’m a well budgeted individual and I don’t believe in spending a lot of money on a holiday like Easter, last year I wanted to buy my son something special. I felt bad that I couldn’t buy him the Gorilla playset he wanted for Christmas, for financial reasons and because the weather would have delayed me building it for several months.
When Easter came and we were well into Spring, I decided to buy him the Gorilla playset I wish I could have given to him for the holidays. On the Saturday before Easter, my son spent all day at his friend’s house, and I spent all day setting up the playset. When he came home, it was dark, and he didn’t think to look in the backyard of course. Easter morning I told my son to look out the window in the backyard, and his eyes lit up and he ran to the backdoor. I could hardly convince him to put on his shoes before going outside, but it was for sure a great moment in fatherhood.
