Old Spice
About a month ago, I bought some Old Spice Aftershave. I needed to feel the burn! It had been a very long time since I have had any. Years and years in fact. When I bought it, Kryssy was not too terribly keen on the idea. She said I’d smell like her dad (no offense Wayne, I think you smell good, ahem!) But I bought it.
This morning after shaving, I put some on and “bam!” Yes, the good old burn. Made me feel a bit more like a man. Isn’t that funny? But, this post is not about the masculine journey as much as love.
A memory came back to me. I was instantly transporter back to my father’s arms when I was a child. Remembering the way he hugged me. It was an awesome, emotional and humbling experience. I had forgotten the way it felt. How safe and how good! I just dwelt there for a few minutes. Then Jackson burst through the door and saw me weepy. He said, “Are you ok Dada?” I got to scoop him up and hug him close! Jack patted me on the back and said, “It’s ok Dada!”
Thanks dad! I miss you and love you more than ever! I praise God for engerneering that experience!
