When I was little, my dad and I would go on a Saturday Morning Date. Each Saturday, my dad would escort me to his car and we would head toward the center of my hometown. Our mission was to pick up doughnuts for my family, as well as a cup of coffee and the newspaper for him.
Because of distance, we no longer spend our Saturday Mornings singing Beatles songs or devouring doughnuts, but we have managed to keep the tradition alive. We have done that by meeting up for a cup of coffee when our schedules allow, as well as joking via text about the importance of a morning java jolt!
When I stumbled upon the above illustration, I couldn't help but think about my dad and our shared love of coffee. Over the years I have learned the importance of caffeine as a survival mechanism, but I have also gained an appreciation for the beverage. Such an appreciation allows me to savor each sip and momentarily feel as euphoric as I did on my "Daddy Dates" :)
