Priceless

My son casually sauntered into my room and lay down beside me as he does many times when he just wants to talk.

Father and son

Just a casual moment

Talking about everything and nothing

Bonding

Laughing

These are the moments that are truly priceless.

I treasured them through the years as my son grew up

Grew up - into the 20 year old that he is now

A 20 year old - all grown and ready for the world

But still " Dad's little boy" in my mind ...

And in my heart

"Dad, Dad" ... says he

"Listen to this pick-up line" ... he continues

"Uhmmmm , excuse me - is this seat taken? 'Coz I'm not ... "

"Hahahahaha - whadya think Dad? Whadya think?" - he asks as he anticipates a reaction

These are the memories I will carry with me till the last of my days

My son and I

Together

In one of the many seriously comical moments we have had

I say ...

"Well - do you actually expect anyone to fall for that anak?

It is kinda' ... "

We realize that a girl would have to be crazy to even just respond to a line like that

We look at each other and crack up just laughing.

We spend the next hour exploring the most useless of pick-up lines and laughing at ourselves...

Father and son

Just enjoying life

Priceless ...
