Strength is measured in moments.
This morning, my son and I
covered his bedroom door
in football cards
One by one, after another
Together
(in)Significant moments.
What can you say in 160 characters. Say it, then go tell Monkey.
Thoughts and prayers go out to those affected by the storm last night.

You are making memories he will never forget. And I bet the door looks great! But you know, someday when he moves, he'll have to take the door with him : )
Togetherness, man and boy, a memory to treasurer.
this brought a tear...so sweet, so perfect...bravo, you are a great dad , the world could use more like you :)
So sweet. I can almost feel the joy the two of you must have felt working together on that project.
Oh yes, I miss this.
these moments shall be the most significant.
Wonderful actions, reflections and play on words Brian.
Precious moments. Generously shared. Thanks for playing along with the Sunday 160.
Very cool! glad you had a good morning!
So much more than cards on a door - carving precious memories into his little heart.
he will never forget this...it's these small moments that make life significant...
Good memories for both you and your son ~
Happy day ~
This is so sweet, Brian. (Thank you for checking on me. I am here - just in a quiet time right now. It is is nice to be missed.)
Yep. That's what it's all about.
=)
You have clearly defined significance, one football card at a time :)
Isn't it funny how the (in)significant moments sometimes turn out to be the most special? Sounds like a great project...
so sweet :)
One of those moments to collect and mount on the door of your memory.
and good poetry is measured in well-chosen words one after the other. As demonstrated here. Very nice Brian
You're right, Brian - the strength (especially of relationships) is built upon at such times.
cool bonding moment, I can totally picture it
it's not insignificant
I have never thought of strength in moments as you describe; now I will not think otherwise. The picture of you and your son sharing the home decorating endeavor is so pleasant it makes my day.
a significant 160
for a significant relation between a father and a son.
the swing image is eye opening and beautiful.
I love seeing my guys spend time together....as no moment they spend with their daddy is insignificant. I see how they watch your every move and action and desire to make you proud in all they do....unconditional love and strength you give to them and they to you....<3
Cool! So what's his favorite team?
he is a steeler fan like his dad...smiles.
don't you love to be in significant moments? you tell it so well!
it's great to take the time to spend time together. It's time they will never forget
it's great to take the time to spend time together. It's time they will never forget
Like LadyCat said, you are making memories he will never forget. I'm glad you are that kind of Dad.
Brian, if only every boy and girl in the world had a father as loving as you, what a different place it would be.
This is so sweet!
I have written on similar themes. Moments like these far outweigh hours in front of the TV.
That's just a great father and son moment. Really nicely stated, especially there at the end, little bit of wordplay, really enjoyed it.
One moment at a time a life is built and the memories that go along with the brick and mortar of the mind.
About 8 years ago I helped Taylor cover his ceiling with basketball posters. They are still there...and I still have memories of how we spent that day. :)
PS ~ we need to see a photo of the kitten! :)
That's a lot of cards!
Just great.
Kids are heartbeats...
now that's some decorating he'll always remember
let's hope they aren't low enough for the new family member
As the kitty might think it be fun
To rip some off one by one..haha
I love (in)Significant moments like that :)
Today, football cards...tomorrow, rock posters...
It is the small moments when we give them our time and our attention that imprint lasting impressions in their character...impressions that stand the test of trials throughout a lifetime.
You always make every character count. Excellent as usual.
Poignant moments with a son that can be duplicated and repeated but never felt enough.
"Strength is measured in moments."
Hi! Brian...
"What can you say in 160 characters?
This morning, my son and I
covered his bedroom door
in football cards
This isn't 160 characters, but I will add these words..."Just because...Which makes your time together great!"...lol
Thanks, for sharing!
deedee ;-D
beautiful summer photo and moment. i envy you.
Another good one!
I'm so happy that damn storm is over!
Now I can go back to reading good verse like yours. :)
Dear Brian, yes indeed. And time is measured that way too. It is all about precious moments, snapshots that will become our most valuable recollection...
Have a lovely Monday dear friend,
xoxo
This makes me smile.:) It has taken me awhile but I have learned to really appreciate the precious "little" moments since becoming a mother. The ones that if asked to describe wouldn't sound like much but it's the memory, the imprint they leave on your heart that matter...
Thanks for this Brian.
Moments like that are precious and are what make you an awesome Dad! 'Time' is one of the most important gifts you can give a child. I would say.. a very significant moment between a father and his son. Lovely!
Loved this post a lot...
it reminded me about my good times with my dad...
relationship between dad and his children is beautiful.... :):)
superb...he will always remember this, and remind you, when you can;t anymore...happy to report the bad stuff hasn't touched us...hope your end (of the country) is ok :)
A significant moment that will never fade.
Enjoy your children while you can, they grow up far too soon and leave your behind.
You are a good daddy, Brian! (But I have a feeling you know this already :).)
What awesome bonding time - I'd love to see a picture of that accomplishment!
Just lovely! I live for moments like these.
These little memories add up -- and I'll bet the door looks cool.
I like this very much, Brian. I sorely miss those moments. :-(
I'd have druther covered the floor in cards.
I'm glad your time with your son was special nice 160.
Excellent, perfect.
Sweet, and a time that your son will remember for a long time!
Oh,how weird - we were having opposite experiences as I was taking things down from my son's walls.
Precious moments...
I'm sure he will always remember that time shared with his dad.
The best times are spend with ones kids:) Lovely memory and well portrayed:)
lovely!
Moments to be cherished, I'd say.
How cool is that. I think that you are a great dad.
