So, in all of my 36.5 years on this planet yesterday ended up being the one moment that I would deem the most emotional moment of my life thus far.
As I was playing ball with the kid while his mother worked he turned to me and said:
"Serge, I wish you were my dad"
Then gave me a big hug.

That's very cool. Kids' affection is pure. They recognize quality people. I'm confused by the title though. Second to last?
ReplyDeleteThe next to last step of actually being a father.
DeleteHaving a kid who isn't yours want you to be his.
I had more in mind when I started typing that would have had it make a bit more sense but it never materialized and i didn't think to go back and change the title.
Ahhhh....I get it. Well good on you for being a positive influence in that kid's life.
DeleteAwwwwww ... cool story. Keep that memory for a day when life seems rough.
ReplyDeleteYeah, no worries there
DeleteGonna want to keep that one, Grrouch man. That's a good one, right there.
ReplyDeleteI plan on making this one permanent.
DeleteCan't imagine myself without them.
Gee, so do I, Serge. [Kicking gravel and looking up winningly with tousled hair hiding some freckles]
ReplyDeleteNice, guy. You are doing a lot of things right in this life. You might get your super hero suit ahead of time. Your own comic is well in the future.
Well, i wont fit into any super hero suit any time soon so I'm willing to wait a while still
DeleteThat is something very special...I married into three kids, now 18, 11, and 9. I came into their lives five years ago...the 18 year old started calling me dad when he was 17( there was an event) but it felt so very good. I am happy that you shared this with us!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the words.
DeleteAnd yes, this is very special.
I get emotional every time I think about it.
