When I was cleaning yesterday, Harold caught my eye.
Harold’s been sitting on my husband’s dresser for
It’s in the spot where he keeps his
a sacred place I don’t disturb but once-a-hardly-ever
Echoed in my mind as I dusted around Harold as he perched among
Harold’s probably been there from about the time this picture was taken.
It was just yesterday.
Oh, wait, Harold’s playmate is now 12.
I guess he’s been there for more like
at least five years.
Poor Harold.
I’m thinking he probably won’t get fixed
real soon.
But he’s safe. He’s among
I was struck at how many things have sat on my husband’s dresser because
My children say this rather matter-of-factly because “duh, mom, dad’s invincible.”
Now, I know really he can’t. But he’s always seemed to fix, at least temporarily, just about anything the kids have brought to him over the years that’s been broken.
Time must have gone pretty quickly after Harold arrived among
because our youngest forgot about him. He probably transitioned from Thomas the Tank Engine to Star Wars. Kindergarten was probably the age, moving from little boy stuff to the serious stuff.

Just a reminder of the influence of the invisible cape.
Proverbs 18:12
Yes, as kids it seems that Daddy can fix anything! Mine was always a hero in my eyes! Now my heavenly Father is the fixer of things…He always has a plan and His plan is always good! Blessings, Joan
This brings back many memories of my Daddy; oh how he used to "fix" things! Ha! My Mother and I would just shake our heads… He was (and always will be) the hero in my life. :)Blessings Brenda,Denise
Dad's can fix most anything it seems at least in the eyes of their children. When I look at my heavenly Father, I ask Him to fix certain things, and usually he does, as least that is the plan.
Love this…just yesterday Hannah said the same things when she brought a broken "something" upstairs. I'm gonna give it to dad – cause he can fix anything! He's even the one that she goes to when she is hurt – those heroes in a cape just make things feel better too! Hooray for Dads!
