I Got A Note Today

From My Son.... Dad, You're amazing! I want to be just like you. You're my hero! I love you so much. I hope today is the best day ever! Happy birthday and love from all around.

I kept my composure long enough to hug him and tell him how much I loved him before having to excuse myself to shed more than a few tears.

I hope he never grows up and sees the massive chinks in the armor I wear.

How perfectly lovely. And while you are probably being too harsh with yourself, if there are any chinks there that you don't want your son to wear as well, any habits you practice you think might harm him, now's the time to change that. Not saying there are any, but your power as a role model is unparalleled, so... :-)

Very true. A bit of self evaluation is probably in order. Thanks!!

Dot.... what a fantastic story! (And how rare to have a spontaneous utterance of joy towards a parent from a teen-ish person! ;-0)

That says a lot about you. Happy birthday... I'm glad it's been a wonderful one so far.

It certainly helped the decade change go down easier!

Aww, I remember feeling like that.

Now I'm old enough to realise I only want to turn out MOSTLY like my dad. Just 'cos you have to discover some day that your father isn't Superman, the important stuff doesn't go away.

Very true...

Don't worry Mr. Dad, when he grows up, he will be wearing his own armour and will understand the chinks. :)
You know what they say: when you pick a fight, expect to get dirty.

Thank you. I think he will see. Just my insecurities kicking in.

Noooooooooo....... I didn't mention it. I wasn't really keen on celebrating it.

I just thought this gift was worth a story.

Being g a dad is the best thing in the world!!! My son is my everything. He is in middle school now and still not ashamed to give his dad a hug and a kiss in front of his friends.
