I kept a small strand of his hair for my memory book. They all thought it was a little gross but Kaleb was sweet enough to save me a locket and tie a purple ribbon on it.
As I said earlier, Kaleb helped to shave off Kagan's hair. They made jokes and laughed. All while there was this simple silence in the room that did not leave. The long pause before Kagan looked into the mirror to see the young man he was without his hair. I held my breath as he uncovered his eyes to look for the first time. Kaleb immediately said when Kagan glanced in the mirror, "Good thing you don't have an egg head". The simple light heartedness comment that brought this tender moment to a giggle.
I Simple strokes of the razor given with a Daddy's love.
Today is Father's Day and I could not help but think how glad I am to have Kaleb in my life. How blessed to know that Kagan has him to anchor him during this storm.
Kagan is so much like Kaleb. They have a quite presence about themselves. They are often underestimated. Yet you will likely find men better than my husband and his son(s).
