Yesterday was Father's Day, one of the days of the year when GW is center stage, the main event. As I prepared for the big day, making my killer chocolate chip cookies for him and other important men in our life, I got to thinking about how the perfect chocolate chip cookie is a lot like a great father, like GW for instance.
The cookie consists of a short list of pure and simple ingredients, but combined together make an extraordinary, complex treat. GW is a perfect mix, an uncomplicated combination of traits that create an amazing dad. Both a cookie and a father should be firm and solid in exterior stature, yet soft and tender on the inside. They are both sweet and a tiny bit savory. And even though you know exactly what to expect when considering the cookie or the father, there are still times when they are both so fine and sweet that is actually surprises you a little, an unexpected delight.
Both father, like GW, and the chocolate chip cookie are classics that are loved through and through by most people that encounter them. However, there is a difference between the two... Unlike the delectable chocolate chip cookie, a good father's love and devotion for his family never comes to an end. Certainly the cookie would meet with a swift finish, especially in our house. And especially if said father is anywhere nearby...
Happy Father's Day, GW. You are one sweet cookie!
