Whenever
Roland has been approached by Jenna or the boys for whatever occasion (Christmas,
birthday) they ask what he wants and he has always answered a homemade card –
which Jenna did when she was younger.
But it seems a bit hopeless to make a card for someone who makes cards
like these:

I
had looked for something to give Roland for Christmas and when I started
wrapping other presents I realized that I might not have a gift to have for him
on Christmas and quickly wrote this poem:
He
thought it was great. I was more
surprised by his reaction than I was pleased as I had felt somewhat ashamed of
not spending as much time on it as he believes I did. I am happy that he liked it – or likes it
rather. He shared it with his mom over
the phone. She also thought it
wonderful. Okay. Cool.
I seemed to have succeeded without really trying. How awesome is that.
Because
a single sheet of paper does not carry a lot in weight, I included a puzzle
which was already in our possession. I
did it to add weight, but Roland didn’t remember having it and thought it was a
part of the gift and we put it together Christmas afternoon.
