Ben, a sleepy Henry and I were swinging out in the yard tonight. Henry really likes to be sung to sleep, so Ben was singing Greg Brown's "Spring Wind."
"Children go to sleep now. You know it's gettin' late.
I know you don't like to miss nothin' and school ain't that great.
Oh, I’ll dance with you when you’re happy, and hold you when your sad,
and hope you know how glad I am, just to be your dad."
Henry gave a HUGE sleep smile when Ben sang that last line.
Absolutely heart-melting.
what a sweet-sweet story.
ReplyDeletehenry is so lucky to be growing up surrounded by such love.
