Paying It Forward…
I come downstairs from my office today and Amy meets me, throws her arms around my neck, throws herself at me, shoves her face in mine and gives me an end of a chic-flick kiss.
She is beaming, smiling. I had two immediate thoughts. The first one I can’t share with you but the other one was that she acted this way the last time she found out she was pregnant…please God…I love kids but 3 is plenty.
“You bought me flowers!!!”
Ever notice at key moments in your life everything seems to slow down? I look over to see the flower arrangement, Rowland is standing behind her shaking his head up and down in exaggerated moments.
I’m clueless.
“Ummmmm…… Honey, I gotta level with you. I didn’t send you flowers.”
“But it says these are from you. Look at the card.”
“Someone must really like me or they think I’m a lousy husband and need some help. But I didn’t send those flowers.”
Long Pause.
“So…do I get another ki—”
“You so owe me more flowers before you get another one of those.”
So whoever sent them to Amy – I just want to say thank you. It was 4 minutes of heaven. I’m still going to have to buy her more flowers now but it will be worth it.
And I’ll pay it forward.

I need to update the story.
First of all, after the flower man delivered the flowers, Cayden asked Amy…”Does he want to date you?”
That’s when Amy told her that the flowers were from Dad.
And she thought I was awesome.
So I picked up some flowers on the way to make up for it!
Man, Row even tried to save you.
I’m not in favor of lying to your wife, but in this case… i’m just saying… well maybe just this once.
rookie mistake. always take credit.;)
