Dad died in 1983. I was an SFC (E-7) In Special Forces and I felt, for the first time in my military career, that I couldn't handle the loss/stress/pressure. There is still a hole in my heart.

So beautiful. If heaven is indeed kissing the softest and fattest cheeks of your new born, I can't wait. Thank you so much Mr. Phillips!

Good piece. I'm fortunate enough to have a beautiful little 6 month old daughter (my first) so I can only relate to kissing the fat little cheeks really. Or watching her as she smiles and screams, so please with herself for pulling herself standing on whatever she happens to grab a hold of. But it is the best thing in the world.

Me too! Especially as I watch my 2 year old grow.

Of all the "titles" a man can have attributed to him, Mr., son, Dr., P.E., RN, the two I revere the most are "Dad" and "Grandpa". Any man can be a father, that's biology. It takes a real man to be a "dad".

Beautiful post. I love being a mom. It's what defines me.
But I was also very touched by your comments about your sister. My son and his little sister (both college age) are best friends and it's a beautiful relationship to behold.
I'm sorry for your loss.
