Yesterday afternoon I worked from home for the last hour and a half. In doing so, I had my office door closed and did not emerge into the kitchen until 5pm. I closed the door behind me and Dylan was talking to Tamara. He turned his head, saw me, and then the most incredible, tear-inducing thing happened.
A huge smile came across his face, he came running towards me saying “DADDY”. Gave me a huge hug and then said “I wuv you”. In a flash of a second, my life changed forever.
I tell Dylan that I love him every single day and he’s told Tamara that he loves her several times. I tried not to take it personally but he hadn’t said it to me before and so when he’d say it to Tamara, I’d feel a little bummed but realize that he’ll say it sometime.
He hugged my leg and told me he loved me and Tamara looked at me and smiled. Tears rolled my face and I now know what it truly means to be a dad.
Dylan, I love you too little buddy.
