While putting You down for a nap around 1:30pm today, you said, "Daddy, you're my best friend."
I had not been told that for at least 20 years, maybe 30 years...
I started crying. You put your head on my chest, and I gave you a huge hug.
When you wiped my tears away, you didn't ask why I was crying.... And then you said it again. I laugh-cried this time, and gave you the biggest hug I thought you could handle. Then you smiled, laid your head down on my right arm, and fell asleep.
You may only be nearly 3 years old, but saying that meant the world to me. Thank you Bennett. You're my best friend too.
I hope I remember this for the rest of my life. You're such a special little guy.
Daddy
