    Awww. That must be very special. My roomie has three kids whom I adore, and I love when I come in and they all want to hug me right away, and then the oldest has to ask me about the crocodiles he's been reading about, the middle one has to show me her new sparkly headband, and the youngest wants to be tickled.

    Touching story I agree why complain about everything when you can smile at the brighter side of life, it's not all gloom and doom ;)

    we take so many things for granted in our lives. Everyday we cry abt small things, we shuld look at people who dont get food for days, people who still hav to struggle to get a glass of clean water, children who hav to walk bare footed for miles everyday just to attend their school. We must look at these people and feel lucky thst we r living such a cozy life.

    That is so Beautiful! You sound like an amazing father and your children are so fortunate to have you! Thank you for sharing those precious thoughts. I teach children and I have to honestly say I think I learn more from them than they learn from me. I love the things they say that pull at the heart strings and the things that make you LAUGH OUT LOUD! especially in the quiet of a moment and the memory comes back to you and people wonder what in the world made you laugh! I LOVE IT!!!

    The little things in life definitely become the BIG things in life when it works on our hearts :)

    I have two, teens, and til now I never forget how sweet they look right after they wake up...btwn infancy and about 4, looking all confused, holding out their hands to be picked up. Almost all kids do that. You're a great dad.

    As long as they're YOUR kids. I have met a few school marms who said after they've worked with other people's kids, they decided to remain childless.
