not sure why. it could be the heat. it could have been the long day at drill. it could be that i am taking a lower dose of hormones .. but sometimes lately i get a little more emotional than I feel comfortable with.
today at costco i was walking in my army uniform around and there is an artist who makes cut steel art like my father does. i stopped to talk with her about her art and out of the middle of no where a little guy grabbed my leg and when i looked down it was a little boy who looked the spitting image of Zac at age 3.
he grabbed my leg and called me daddy. And I am not sure what my look on my face was but the grandma grabbed him and so no johnson that is not daddy. johnson's mommy came up to me and apologized and explained that daddy has been away at war (afganistan) for 10 months now.
i told her that i had a son who looked just like him and that they will be so happy when daddy is back and it will be soon. she told me that i have no idea how hard it is upon them.
i said that it is probably hard on dad to and excused myself to go thru the store.
i tried my best to hold back the tears in my eye. because i truly did have an idea how hard it was
not sure why this hit me so hard i am sure my children are fine and prob wont even ask about me on father's day. most public school don't even have the kids make anything anymore for father's day.
i try to re assure my self the kids will be fine. they have a grandpa and a robert they don't need a daddy anymore. hell they don't even call me daddy anymore.
im unsure how i will feel tomorrow
best wishes to all the daddy's out there who are allowed to see there kids.
