Headphones and Outside

This is the photo on the lock screen of my phone.

I see it multiple times a day, every single day, and somehow I never get tired of it. Every time I pick up my phone, there you are.

I love this picture. I love your little face. I love that one of the most ordinary things I do all day - checking my phone - gives me a tiny reminder of the best thing in my life.

I see this photo constantly, and every time I do, I think the same thing:

I love you.

More than you could ever know.

Love, Dad
