As I lay on the sofa tonight, the wife climbs on top of papa bear just showing her love rubbing my face and thanking me for being so compassionate today (she threw up in the car today and caught in her hands).. I helped her clean herself up and didn't make a scane because clearly she felt humiliated.. my 11 year old son who has special needs (autism) wanted to join in on the family love, he crawls over on his knees and rests his head on my chest alongside his mother, both of them jokingly bickering about wanting Daddy's attention more than the other..this is actually a pretty common thing every night lol... As I laid there loving on the both of them, as they were being affectionate back laughing and joking but both of them are playing with my goatee lolol..
It was then that I really took in the moment and realized how rich I really am, all of the treasure is in the world, all of the most valuable riches and items could not replace such and amazing nurturing and affectionate bond that a family has... It reminded me of the daddy lion, with the lioness cuddle next to him as the baby cub just chews on Daddy's ears, and the daddy lion just lays there patiently..lol
I never take it for granted and I always savor the moment..
But I value when the both of them come to me fighting over affection, it brought so much joy to my heart knowing that these two human beings that are part of my life and my journey love me that much.. they love me that much that the both of them displaying affection but yet poking fun and we were all laughing..yet I find myself stressing over other trivial crap in life..
I think sometimes in life we need to take a step back and reevaluate where we are at and stop comparing with others, stop comparing what we don't have.. it made me think actually how lucky I really am, and then blink of an eye I can lose it all because that's how life is.. for now I will treasure moments like this and I will look for the moral lesson in each one.... And I know for a fact that the both of them know how much I love them in return because of how affectionate they are with me almost on the regular, heck I still hold my 11 year old son's hand walking through stores, and I gave him a kiss on the lips whenever I'm coming or going.. and my wife calls me on the regular and long list text messages and here we are 13 years later..even my son will send me silly messages from the other room with a video is that he made with his teddy bears..
What more do we really need in life as men?
I just wanted to share this with you guys because sometimes our ego is get the better of us and we lose a sense of reality of where we're at and what we actually possess compared to what we think we want or what we feel that we deserve.
When all along the greatest gifts have been before us..
Like I said this is a daily thing but tonight was extra special.. they were teasing me on some new Grey's they found on my chin.. picking at me like monkeys.lolol..
I wouldn't trade it for the world..
Have a good night ASF..
