Father and Son Bonding Today

By Sanford Hall



Today is a wonderful day weather wise, it's approximately 75* and I will take this opportunity to build a fence around my garden along with the help of my twelve year old son. This is our way of bonding today. Not that we do not bond often, but it's a day for us to learn and do something together as father and son.

The pumpkins, beans and cantaloupes are about to start blooming and to keep the animals out we have to build a fence. This shouldn't take very long since it's almost completed, but needs some finishing touch. While my son is out of school we take the opportunity to complete this project while the weather is ideal. I will take this time to teach my son how to plumb a fence, read a tape or cut a piece of wood. These maybe simple things to many but to a twelve year old it's a wonderful experience coming from his dad. Once we are done we will go out and have a pizza and ice ream together.

Simple things which means so much to a child or young son. Hope this is something he will appreciate and someday do the same with his son. As a kid I recalled doing wood work with my dad and I loved it, it left a lasting impression on me. The time has now come for me to bond with my son and I will enjoy every moment of it on this day.
