While mommy was opening her Mother’s Day gift, our son turned to me and said, “Daddy, we should celebrate National Kid’s Day everyday.” “What are we going to do that day?” “Kids will have gifts and they can do all fun stuff that they like.” I smiled and told him if we celebrate something everyday, then it might lose its uniqueness and it'll just be another typical day. Special moments are meant to be celebrated once in a while so we would value them more than any ordinary day

I did a quick turn towards the remote parking lot where the church shuttle van would fetch us. When we got there, the shuttle was about to leave. Thankfully, the driver stopped when he saw us. We quickly alighted our car and ran towards the van. A nice gentleman gladly opened the vehicle door.
