A lesson from Toby

Chris Shoaf

Originally appeared on spirituality.com

Dad and Toby got along pretty well for the most part. Even though they had their differences, they still produced some tasty vegetables together. One year they even spent Dad’s vacation damming up the creek so my brother Scott and I would have a pond to swim in.

Pretty good, considering Toby only understood four words: “Giddyup,” “Gee,” “Haw,” and “Whoa.”
