  • My kids are currently staying with me. My son had a very early dentist appointment yesterday, which his mom was kind enough to take him. When she arrived, my son gently woke me up (two minutes before my alarm was to wake me up) by shaking my foot. When I came to, he tenderly said, “Dad, I just want to tell you I love you,” and then darted out the door. I thought it was the sweetest thing. What a great way to wake up on a Monday. He still has that childlike innocence. But he’s going to be a teen in just two years, and I know a lot of those “awe” moments are going to fade away. I love being a dad.
