Prepare the tissues...
There's two things here, and I'm going to be all selfish and tell you both of them.

The first one was many years ago. I'm desperately tired after a week at work which seemed to consist of various flaming arseholes in various parts of the country having a 'see how far we can kick purplegod's arse up his back' contest. Come Friday night, I'm trying to stop my stomach tearing its way out of my middle and struggling to read a story to DemiGod. Halfway through, just as all the one-syllable words are getting too difficult, he sat up, crawled over to me and put his little arms around me. He whispered in my ear "Don't worry about my story if you're tired, Dad. There's always tomorrow night." I dropped the book and held him tight until he fell asleep.

The second is still in progress, and I hope will last forever. Pink Goddess took me in, shared her life with me, helped me move house twice, looks after me better than anyone, cares for me, sends me texts when I feel down, puts up with me being strange (actually, think stranger than that*), copes with my geekyness, puts up with DemiGod, tidies up after me, holds me in her arms all night, and generally adores me. She even wears clothes that I've ironed without much complaining, and has been known to eat the food I cook. She even knew exactly the right moment during Mary Poppins to hand me a tissue. And she let me have a cat. All in all, wow. I can't say how grateful I am, there are not the words in the whole world.

(* yeah, and stranger than _that_, too)
