For John

JJ,

Every now and then, I forget to do something that you tell me to do. Like
Sometimes I put the shirts that are supposed to line dry in the dryer ... on high.
Sorry about that, but it can only shrink once, right? And
Sometimes I leave dishes in the sink.
I know it's hard to get the stuff off the plates, so I'll rinse them better next time. And
Sometimes I make messes in the kitchen when I'm making dinner.
But dinner was good, right? And
Sometimes I leave the light on in the closet, or
Sometimes I turn off your alarm clock before it wakes you up, or
Sometimes I get lost in thought and don't hear anything you say for five minutes, BUT
I really love you
And though that might not change my habits, I still thought I'd tell you.
Cause it's worth mentioning as often as possible.

I love you (the boy!)

Sincerely,
David
