CUTIS woke up early that morning with a secret plan in mind. He had noticed that Dad had been working very hard all week, often coming home tired but still smiling for the family. CUTIS wanted to do something special to show his love and appreciation. Tiptoeing quietly around the house, he gathered a few simple things that could help him create the perfect surprise.
First, he picked fresh flowers from the garden, carefully choosing the brightest ones. Then, he set the table with Dad’s favorite mug and arranged a small breakfast using help from Mom. Though the toast was slightly uneven and the fruit pieces were not perfectly cut, CUTIS worked with great focus and determination. Every detail mattered, because he wanted Dad to feel how much he cared.
When everything was ready, CUTIS hid behind the door, barely able to contain his excitement. As Dad walked into the kitchen, he stopped in his tracks. The colorful flowers, the neatly set table, and CUTIS’ proud smile filled the room with warmth. For a moment, Dad was speechless. Then his eyes softened, and a wide smile spread across his face.
CUTIS stepped forward and handed Dad a small card he had drawn himself. On it were bright crayon hearts and a simple message: “Thank you for taking care of me.” Dad knelt down, pulled CUTIS into a tight hug, and whispered how proud he was. His voice trembled slightly, touched by the sincerity of the gesture.
They sat together, sharing breakfast and laughter. Dad listened as CUTIS explained each part of the surprise, from choosing the flowers to setting the table. Every word made the moment even more meaningful. The simple meal turned into a memory they would both treasure forever.
That morning reminded everyone that love doesn’t need to be grand or expensive. Sometimes, the smallest acts of kindness carry the deepest emotions. CUTIS’ thoughtful surprise showed his dad just how much he was loved, creating a heartwarming moment that would stay in their hearts long after the day was done. 💛
