"He said, I’ve been watching you, dad ain’t that kool?
I’m your buckaroo; I want to be like you.
And eat all my food and grow as tall as you are.
We like fixin’ things and holding moma’s hand
Yeah, we’re just alike, hey, ain’t we dad.
I want to do everything you do; so I’ve been watching you."


--From "Watching You", by Rodney Atkins.

I suppose every little boy wants to be like his dad. I know I find myself becoming more like my own father every day. I cannot count the times that I ask myself, "What would Dad do here?" The night before my college graduation, my dad told me he was proud of me, and that was one of the best moments of my life.

Peace...
