From Ruth to Dad: “I wonder did other dads put underwear and socks in the oven to warm them on winter days?”

Ruth Norton

Dear Dad,

Is there a better father in the world than you? If there was a competition I reckon you'd win top prize. I wonder did other dads put underwear and socks in the oven to warm them on winter days? Or stand in the rain at the bus stop every morning while we waited in comfort in the car. Or take us on magical mystery tours and tell us of amazing journeys to the North Pole to visit the elves. Or tell us we looked fabulous in a long succession of hideous outfits? And surely no other father makes a better brekkie than you? So thank you dad, for all the hospital visits with us twins and for always being there for the five of us and giving us the world.

We love you.

Ruth
