The boys and I picked up Dad from the airport after supper. He called right as we were sitting down at the table and I told him we’d be there in fifteen minutes. I picked a Matchbox 20 song to listen to on the way there. The boys had the chance to pick the next one which was I Still Haven’t Found What I’m Looking For by U2. After that I had them play the song One by U2 so that was playing when he got into the van.

He turned down the volume when he sat down. I asked if it was too loud and he pointed to the back where one of the boys who had just climbed into the back asked if someone could turn down the music. I said now we have to have our romantic reunion kiss so we kissed until the boys were politely begging us to stop. I could tell he hadn’t trimmed his beard at all because of the lip suction. So then we drove home to more songs.
