Aunt Karen and Uncle Steven sent Skyler a video tape
They recorded some shows for Skyler from up in Seattle and let him know they were sending the tape to him, so we left it in the mailbox for him to pickup!
I am seemingly a collection of differences; a mountain man living on the plains, a small town boy living in the city, and a simple soul working in a high-tech environment. I love being outside, but work inside, quick to cry at a Kodak commercial, but with a military background. But most of all, I am the father of a wonderful boy with Cerebral Palsy.
That is SO cool, guys!

Look how happy he was getting mail. The video made my day!
ReplyDeleteHow sweet of them to send the tape. We forget how much fun it is to get mail when you're a kid, don't we?
ReplyDeleteDat's th' way ya' doo it!! Make the kid work for it!! Ha! (we do the same thing with Bubba...)
ReplyDeleteYou know, to tell the truth, *I* feel about that excited when *I* get real mail and somethin' that 'ent bills in the mail...
And I don't know what it is about special needs kids, but they seem to experience emotions more purely than the rest of us: I mean, how often do you see REAL JOY on the faces of neurotypical people, especially adults?? I love hearing Bubba laugh, and I replayed this viddie 4 times just to see Skyler laugh. Thanx for sharin'!!!
That is awesome. I was that happy getting mail only once, and the paternity results were negative. Take that, Luann!
ReplyDeleteThat's pure joy on Skyler's face.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE getting good mail. None of this bill crap. Good mail.
ReplyDeletelooks like Skyler LOVES it as well.
That's awesome. But what's on the tape?
ReplyDeleteThis is the best video I've seen on your site so far and the biggest smile I've had on my face in a long, long time. Thanks!
ReplyDeleteDammit - I read your blog at work, and can't view the videos. So now I have homework. Skyler is adorable, and I must see this video with proper sound, etc.
ReplyDeleteThat's so wonderful.
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone, Skyler was really happy to get a video tape that had some of his favorite news folks on it from Seattle.
ReplyDeleteHe is a news fiend, and has taken several tours of news stations. It is what he wants to do someday, work in their news room.
You give me the address, and I will send him anything he wants, within reason, twice a week. Honestly, if he is looking for a penpal at least I speak English.
ReplyDeleteI cried great big salty tears. God bless him. Take care ya'll.
Doc
Thanks so much for sharing this video with us, Dad. It's wonderful to watch pure joy. You're a lucky man.
