[@aaronitsame7668]

@michiwood6856 i just used the portable weber grill he bought me for Christmas last year. Absolutely knocked it out of the park (apparently, because it was my first time grilling). Everybody was happy and I couldn't help but wish my dad was here to experience it instead of wasting away in a hospice bed. But, I called him and told him, and he was overjoyed. Ended the call early because I could tell he was about to cry. Gonna miss the hell out of that man. Bless you and your family. Thank you so much for your kind words.

[@Washikage]

@Kentuckydude775 Thank you so much for your heartfelt comment! It's definitely been a crazy ride! Words couldn't describe the feelings that were spiraling as soon as I got to hold him for the first time. I still can't believe it sometimes. Of course, it's had its many challenges, and I, too, am learning so much about myself and life in general. Making and learning from new mistakes and treasuring every moment that I'm blessed to spend with him. If you really want it, just know that you can prepare as much as you'd like, but there's nothing that could truly prepare you for what's to come. As long as you're resilient and loving, that's all you need to have a foundation. From there, only experience and time will provide the building blocks to shape you into the great parent that I'm sure you'll get to be :)

And I’d wonder about how I’d be a father and what being a dad would be like. Now 26 searching this song out to listen to because my 6 year old son I raise who isn’t mine looked at me tonight and said before bed. Thank you for raising me. I used to wonder what it’d be like to have a son or if he’d be a little mini me. I have the most wonderful son in the world and I will watch over him always.

[@zacharyagee240]

I was 10 when this came out. When my dad and I were in the car and this came on the radio, my father said that this was the first time he heard that song. I said that "it was my favorite song and that it reminds me of you and our relationship and how you took in me as your own" that day, I saw my father cry. And they were tears of happiness. That statement still holds true to this day. This is and will always be one of my favorite songs.

[@fluffyghost714]

This song has always been my dad's and my favorite song. My parents split when I was very little and I was very close with him until I was 14. He passed 07/27/2022 and I didn't get to say goodbye, I play this song every morning and act like we're still singing it together. His celebration will be next weekend and this will be the first song to play there. This song has helped me a little to get through this, this song will forever live as long as I'm alive

[@braydendixon8364]

I don't know why, but ever since I became a father a few years ago, I can't help but cry every time I hear the song Watching You by Rodney Atkins. All I wanted when I was a kid was to be like my dad. Now that I have kids of my own, all they want is to be with me. And I STILL want is to be like my dad. Another song that I love is A Father's Love by George Strait. It gets me going every time. Even though I never talked to my dad about how these songs make me feel, I just feel like he knows already. Now that I'm a father I can only wish that my kids can look to me the same way I look to my dad. Strong, humble, kind, diligent, loyal, patient, honest, and courageous. My dad is a protector, a teacher, a provider, and a friend. My dad really is my hero.

[@DiegoSanchez-cp6kc]

I still don’t have kids and i’m already over here thinking about how they’re the best thing in the world to me. Can’t wait to show them this song. Simply one of the best.

[@BeanTheBean]

I struggle to listen to this song, as my father died about two years ago as of last December. This was, as many would put it, " his song to me." It also helps me remember what he looked like, and is also one of the few things that makes me cry just by listening to it. If you have lost your father at a young age, I am truly sorry. Just know that one day, things will one day get better. I speak from experience.

And Ive never been this happy.. their biological dad is just a jerk to women, It always worried me, until yesterday my son Aidan said the sweetest thing when we were it the kiddie section of the pool, he said "mommy? If I ever have a girlfriend, I think I will buy her flowers, roses probably like your tattoos mommy" A: That's wonderful son, I'm proud of u, u have a great heart!!
