wake up call

Recently I was working on a project with my dad. a weekend project, going on for several weekends now, and we are just about complete.
Its always fun doing stuff with my ole man.
I have learned so much from him and still have so much to learn.
We sit and discuss our plan of action, how best to do it, what we need etc.
some things can only be done by trial and error. but we get it done.
So in wrapping up on Sunday, daddy says 'one day all these tools will be your'.
i smiled, then frowned.
It was my wake up call, that one day i will have to take over the reigns of the family. As the first born there are certain expectations and responsibilities you will have...

Am i ready to assume such a role? full time?

yes but not yet. i still need my pops around to show me how to be a father. as they say grandchildren are parents revenge.

so daddy, yes I'm ready for the reigns, but can i ride shot gun for a bit longer.

love always
your proud son
