Preset
“Iris let’s go sweetheart. Grandpa is waiting for us.” I call up the stairs to
my daughter.
“Coming daddy!”
I hear her little feet pad down the stairs.
I grab one of her jackets hanging by the front door, because even though
it is May in Utah it can still get a little chilly at night. I buckle her into her
car seat and situate her with all the toys she will need for the eight-minute
drive to my dad’s house.
“Daddy, can we listen to Taylor Swift?” Iris’s little voice asks from the
back seat, before I even get a chance to click my seatbelt into place.
“Of course, sweetheart.”
I hit play on the playlist that Iris and my sister, Adalynn, created for Iris’s
third birthday party. I smile, hearing her sing along to “Lover.” A memory
of Iris’s mom singing along to this song hits me like a train. I try to suppress
the memory for now because I don’t have time to unpack, and to fully feel
it.
I pull into my dad’s driveway just as the bridge to “Cruel Summer” starts
to blare through my speakers. Now, am I a bad dad because my almost fouryear-old daughter sings this bridge at the top of her lungs? I mean, maybe.
But instead of turning it off, I park my truck, turn the volume up almost as
far as it will go. Turning in my seat to face Iris, we both start to scream the
bridge as loud as we can. The song ends, and Iris is out of breath both from
laughing and singing. We walk hand in hand to my dad’s front door, but she
breaks away when she sees him standing in the doorway.
“Grandpa!”
“Well, hello little love.”
Iris leaps into my dad’s arms, as he spins her around.
“Hey dad.” I say giving him a brief hug before handing him the backpack
Iris packed to bring over.
“Are you moving in?” he jokingly asks. tickling her side to make her
giggle.
“No grandpa.” Iris says, squirming and giggling in his arms.
“I will try to pick her up by ten, but you know how these things can get
sometimes.”
I am a country music singer/songwriter, when I’m not working my day
job as a ranch hand. Normally I would bring Iris with me to my shows, but
the bar I
am playing in tonight is in a sketchy town, so I didn’t want to risk it.
“Thanks again for watching her dad.”
“It isn’t a problem, Braydon. I love getting to spend time with my
granddaughter.”
I kneel down, so I am on Iris’s level.
“You be good for grandpa, ok?”
She nods and wraps her tiny little arms around my neck. I give her a little
squeeze.
