really early this morning Vlad's teacher drove by
she said that in class all the kids had been making father's day presents
(i hate father's day)
so Kate, who had gotten the door, said okay
and his teacher gave us a bunch of work he had done in class and said happy father's day and she left
Kate came back inside and looked through all the work
some grammar pages, some art, some math
and there was a laminated piece of coloured paper, like a placemat to eat on
and it said happy father's day to my dad i love you and he had drawn a picture of me
he had drawn me in my wheelchair with a lion because he knew i loved lions too
and the rest of the class had finished the placemat for him because i guess he didn't have time to finish himself

they had drawn him with wings and little hearts and stuff
now when i see it i cry

at least i got to talk to people this morning to help ((( hugs to everyone who helped me in support )))
