Sketching a Better Daddy

When I got up this morn­ing my seven-year-old daugh­ter showed me a draw­ing she had just com­pleted. It was a sketch of me with a big smile on my face. Above it were the words, “A Bet­ter Daddy.” She explained to me that I was smil­ing in the draw­ing because my back was all bet­ter. To my cha­grin, she then added that I mostly have a “frown” on my face now because of the pain. It won’t just be me who’s pos­i­tively impacted after surgery and I’m well again.
