So, I knew that when Charles got home from work and walked in the door, this scene was going to make him exceedingly happy…
My parents were over for dinner (Charles wound up having to work very late) and afterwards D asked my dad to play a game with him. They are playing on the chessboard Charles made with his Grandpa Joe back before D was born.
And sure enough, when Charles walked in the door he got the exact goofy grin on his face that I knew he was going to. And Dillon and my Dad and Rose wound up playing three more games of chess, with Rose moving into the driver’s seat and getting coached by her Grandpa Tim about how all of the pieces go.
It was pretty awesome all around.
