Happy Birthday Daddy

This is the third birthday I’ve had as a father, but the first one in which my sons gave me a gift of their very own making. With their mother’s help and guidance, they began working on the gift right after Christmas, and it has slowly been taking shape over the last few months. They have made the gift no secret, working on its development openly in my presence. In this way, it has extended my birthday celebration over some time and added an element of anticipation to whether they can complete their project by my day of birth. Tonight after supper I received my completed gift. Benji and Trey Davey clearly sang all the words of Happy Birthday to me.
