Dear Papa,
Today, it has been 6 long months.
And I'm still discovering things that make me ache for you.
Today's find: the cheesy animatronic characters in the Great Wolf Lodge lobby show.
Including the Disney-esque Indian maiden who sings a lovely song about nature, demonstrating several points of the typical native stereotype along the way.
We came here with you just about 3 years ago and I remember us all gathering to watch the show. You were such a good sport about it. About the water park. About the ridiculous "nature" theme that is nothing close to natural. About the silly wand magic quest that had everyone running up and down the halls.
We had cake and birthday presents. Henry took his first steps. You made yourself at home, wandering through the attractions in your classic outfit and clipped on keys.
Speaking of stereotypes: during that trip, we also went to the closest Indian casino and hit the seafood buffet. Ah - good times.
Thank you for being up for almost everything we suggested. For always finding the fun in things. For appreciating being together much more than being in a specific place or doing a specific thing.
Missing you,
M
