A fathers day Thank you!

Well my wife beat me to the punch, but I wanted to say thanks for making my 2008 fathers day memorable.




I was on location in Las Vegas on a film called "Race to Witch Mountain". My call time was 4am. so I had mentioned that I was getting up at 2:30 to get to work a little early for breakfast. If you didnt know, on a film set, food is provided and we all get to work early to grab a bite before hitting the floor running.









But as it happens, I get a call from my wife at 2:15 am. Being very out of it, I answer the phone not really realizing that its a call and not my alarm going off. On the other end is a rather chipper (not really, she was dead tired waiting up till I was meant to wake up) voice telling me to "Hey ....wake up!!! you gotta get up !!!" Very hard to snap out of the sleep for me. She kept telling me that I was going to have a knock on the door in a few minutes. In my morning haze, I actually thought she might have flown in to spend the weekend with me. But like clock work, there was a knock at the door.


scrambling to get dressed, with phone in one hand and pulling my shorts up with the other, I answered the door to find Room service there with a full breakfast for me. Now that was a surprize.



So a big thank you to Madison and Sheila for that day. It made my day pretty darn special. One of the best Fathers days I'd ever had. I took alot of pride in commeting to my work mates about the whole thing, and Im sure a few wives were questioned as to why they didnt do something like that.




Now Eating breakfast at 2:30 AM isnt as easy as one would think, however it was the best meal I had the entire time I was there.


Thank you to both my girls.. I'm a very lucky guy.

cheers

Old age and Treachery......

out weigh youth and ambition every time.

This is an image I caught some time ago.. and as of late, I found it to be quite pertinent to how I've been feeling as of late.

Letters from the edge...

I truley am blessed to have you both in my life. I cannot imagine life without you two. I hate that we spend so much time away from each other. I miss being able to be there to watch Madison during her recital. I miss being next to my lovely wife.

We've spoken often of how this is the life we've chosen, and that while we both know that its not going to be like this forever, I miss you both so very much. While I know that this is all a means to an end, I look forward to coming home and being with you both.

I wanted to let you know I love you both beyond all reason. While work separates us, I think of you both without end, even in the midsts of my crazy self induced stress on the job, its pulling up to the house and seeing roxy come barreling out of the house with raised hair, barking up a storm because I'm teasing her in the dark, Its seeing madison in the upstairs window patiently waiting and waiving to me from a sillohetted picture of her little self when she probably should be in bed. Its seeing my lovely wife standing in the door way welcoming me home after my long absence, its the long awaited reunion that keeps me hopeful that my time away will soon be at an end.

I love you both and am so very proud of my little family. Thanks Sheila for being the hard facts kind of girl that you are when Im not so logical. I know that we dont always make sense to each other, but regardless were always together none the less. Your awesome.

Madison, Your such a wonderful daughter. No father could be any luckier to call you his own. Im very proud of you and your aspirations. I love hearing the stories that mommy tells me of you. Your quips of wisdom and humor. You truely are a brilliant little girl. I love you and cannot wait to give you a great big hug.

Wishing you well from So cal and wishing I was with you all right now.

with much love.

Me.
