Real Dad Blog Version: There is nothing more meaningful when baby gives a parent a hug, especially a big loving hug.
My wife is gone this weekend at an out of town bachelorette party. One would think it could have been a daddy and son weekend. Unfortunately, there are important things in life that just get in the way of having another daddy and son day. There were important events today such as having to coach soccer and to go to an outdoor wedding reception of one of my good high school friends. There is no way Rylan would have lasted outside at either of the events. It was rainy and cold.
Lucky enough, my in-laws were able to watch him all day long. His day was filled with excitement as his grandpa and grandma kept him busy. He was on my mind all day hoping he was a good boy and that he is feeling well since he was sick this past week. Of course the report from them was he was a little gentleman.
My festivities of the day were over at 9:00 PM. I did have a great day without the little one and my wife. We won our soccer game and I had a great time visiting with friends I have not seen for awhile. Even though I had a great day, nothing compares to the hug I got when I took my son out of the crib at grandma and grandpa’s house. It made me feel even happier being a dad because the hug was filled with love. It was like a dad, I missed you so much hug.
I am looking forward to the hug I get when he wakes up tomorrow morning after tonights hug. I am also looking forward to sprawling out in bed tonight since my wife is not home. I better go take advantage of that now.

Sometimes the simplest things in live are the best. Our little girl is a little too young to be giving hugs. We are at the stage now that we are able to get a few smiles out of her. Seeing her smile seems to melt away all the bad!
