I mentioned in my last post that I'm visiting my older daughter for a family emergency. Let me start by saying it's all good... nobody is dead or dying or injured or critically ill.
With that said though, older daughter asked for help and it's been all hands on deck. I came out and am staying for a couple of weeks total. Younger daughter came and left. Wifey came and left. This gave us all some time with family in combinations we haven't done for a while. My kids made my heart melt...
My girls and I went on a hike a couple of days ago, and as is usually the case, we kind of talked about everything and nothing. During the conversation one of my girls said "Dad, [sister] and I have said time and time again that you were literally put on this earth to be a dad." My wife and my kids are without a doubt the center of my world. And while I've heard that comment before, I've got to admit that every time I hear it, my eyes may leak a little bit. It's kind of like when your favorite customer gives you a five star review.
