When my young son
comes to stay with me one of his treats is sleeping in my bed with me, I tell him stories into the night and we eventually doze off exhausted. Because he is next to me I sleep very lightly, any sound or movement wakes me up. About 3 months ago I was woken by him just saying 'Daddy'.

"What son?"

He is quiet for a moment..

"You're my best friend"

Then he turns round and goes straight back to sleep. Its like he woke me up just to tell me that.

I am filling up right now thinking about it.

Clicky
Can't wait to have moments like that with my child. Although at only 3 months into my wifes pregnancy, think it will be a little while...

Wonderful
I love and hate this QOTW, because there really are some truly touching stories, in both good and bad ways.

This is a good one, have a click
