On February 14th, my wife and I had plans to go
out for dinner. Our two oldest children were at a church activity for a couple
of hours and we had a friend at our house ready to watch Aria. It had only been
one week since Aria’s brain surgery but she loves our friend and we thought it
would be fine.
As we tried to leave, she starts begging us not to go. She’s
clinging to us and didn’t want us to leave her. So, my wife came up with a
brilliant idea of ordering some food and having Aria be our waitress and
include her in our romantic evening.
I headed out to Pei Wei to pick up a couple dinners to bring
back. While I was gone, my wife set up a small table with candles in the front
room. When I came home, we sat down and Aria came to take our order and asked us
what we wanted to drink. She brings our drinks and then takes our food order. Our
friend helps her put food on the plates and she brings us our food. Every few
minutes she would come in and ask us if we need anything more to drink or some
more food.
She was so cute. It was great to be able to include her in
our special evening. After we were done, she asked if we’d like to go to a
private room to snuggle and kiss. She was coached by our friend but it was
really sweet. She walked us upstairs to our room and then went back downstairs
to be with our friend.
We didn't get to be alone too long because we had to go pick
up the kids from church and then we all headed to the airport to pick up my
sister, Tammy, who was coming into town to spend a week with us.
Overall, it was just a great and wonderful evening and
definitely one to remember.
