I awake when the hotel door swings open. The sound of little feet padding past my bed tells me that the kids have returned with their mother. How did these two little ones manage to awaken, dress and leave the room without me noticing? Their entrances and exits are customarily boisterous, something that I can delight in as a visitor to this family but which eventually draws a strained look from their parents.
I can feign sleep no longer. I place my glasses on my face just in time to watch my friend Ezekiel's son launch himself onto his father's bed. His sister quickly follows suit. They are fairly bursting with what had enabled the not-small feat of their stealthy morning outing: "Happy Father's Day!" they shout. Ezekiel's head pops up from under a pile of blankets and children to flash me a sleepy smile.
