Four words that melt my heart

Contributed by Proud Mater Dad Tim

Fatherhood to me has been something I've yearned for from a young age.  It has been all—and at the same time nothing—like I expected. To say the least it has been rewarding, demanding, testing and exciting … but most of all of has been the most humbling experience of my life. 

Going to work every evening knowing that there are three little souls who depend on me gives me the drive to be better.

Seeing their little faces light up every morning—no matter how little sleep I've had—makes everything better, even if only for a moment.  I feel immensely blessed to have been given the opportunity to be a father; to see my children grow; and to have the chance to guide them through the rollercoaster we call life.

"I love you daddy"—four words to melt any father's heart, time and time again. It never gets old.
