It’s good to see kids are still drawing that S thing.

Im a mom of two girls and a newborn son. The way my daughters love their daddy is magical. They're certain he's a king. They shower him with love and they'll fight you if you try to tell them he's not a king. If you even say he's the prince then they'll be ready for war. No! Daddy is the king!! He's so handsome (daddy hasn't shaved or showered this week, we have a fussy newborn and we're exhausted. ) it's father's day here in Sweden and this was a nice read. I sent it to him. Girl dad's won the lottery for sure. I'd kill to be loved that way even for a day. We'll see how it turns out with my boy, his sisters are already teaching him about love bombing 😂 I'm sure that'll blow my way eventually ❤️❤️ what s blessing to be a parent.

Congratulations to you and your husband, powerful King of Daughters.

We have two daughters and two sons and we are absolutely smitten with our 1yo boy.

There is just something magical about daughters.

I was walking with my girls and the 7yo says, daddy it's such a shame you are my daddy and I can't marry you, I think you'd make the perfect husband: smart, handsome...

And my 5yo chimed in: ...and funny!

Every day they make me laugh. What a blessing indeed.

My daughters told me they wanted to marry me too! And made up a slightly creepy alternate history to the story of Aladdin where Jasmine's dad married her.

They're older now, but we still have special times together. I'm taking my eldest skiing soon.

Thanks for the delightful stories, and congrats on the wonderful offspring.

Sitting in the hospital with my 9-month pregnant wife while I read this. My heart is fuller!

Great, lovely stories.

I'm probably on the younger end of your readership, so these still seem dreamy and a few years off. Yet I tingle while reading these, if only you would divulge the secret. Thx for sharing, I continue reading, hoping by asmosis.

Few words are more terrifying.

I have no idea how old my readership is.

How old are you?

I write about parenthood but I (foolishly?) still think of myself as 'young'

Lovely quote

It was only a projection ofc, and it's all relative anyhow: 27 and on the cusp of something happening.

You are so lucky/young - all the same thing.

You might like the song "Sunrise of Your Smile". Has similar sentiments about being dad (written at birth of one of his daughters). It helped keep me going thru some dark times.
