The annual Pop's Party!!! This little girl was so excited to go with her daddy!! They had been practicing songs and made special invitations. So it broke her heart when her daddy told her he wasn't going to be able to come. He was headed out of town that week and wasn't going to be back. The tears started flowing. I felt so bad for her so her and I decided to keep bugging her dad so he would at least try. We still didn't know that day if he was going to make it. But someone must have known how much she wanted her daddy there. Bob got to the airport early and asked to get on an earlier flight. The attendant at the desk said there wasn't one, but then a few minutes later realized there was. So he took Bob out on the tarmac, under the plane, and they opened the door for him to get on. He made it with roses in hand!!!
I ended up going with her...being the only Mom in the whole audience there. Bob was about 30 minutes late but luckily they were running way late too so he didn't miss much. The whole time we were waiting Makena had this sad little mouth and eyes and she just kept looking at the door. Finally, when he came in her face lit up with this huge smile and had a sparkle in her eye!!! What a special date for her and her daddy!
She got to sing her heart out to her daddy, have dinner, get their picture taken, make projects, and play the rest of the night. What a special memory they get to share.
