Being Dad

  A month ago my wife moved out into her own place, I was looking but a flat next to her best friend came up so that was that. Our son, my son has stayed with me most nights which I love. He's a daddy's boy and despite my changes, he still wants to be with me. We do lots together, swimming, cinema, shopping (yes, he comes shopping with me) and general goofing around that dads and their sons do. He makes me laugh.

  Tonight I took him to his mums, as I said, he stays with me most often. I wanted him to stay with her because he should sometimes, but it was the hardest thing I've done to leave him there. He does love his mum, but we have that bond. I'm crying writing this, I miss him so much. He didn't want me to go, we were crying together and his hug, the kind that never ends, pulling me close and never letting go.

  I guess this little ramble is more for me, but it's also for those who have young children and are worried that they might lose them. I don't know if you will or won't, but if you love each other then there is always hope. If you have what I have with my son then, like me, you will be the luckiest person alive.
