This week's challenge is a Father's Day Challenge and I instantly thought of this picture of Gus and Steve. I know that the love that a baby has for its mother is strong, but the love for the father is incredible.
In our home, I stay at home all day with Gus and Steve works his tail off so we can enjoy the luxury of playing, laughing, and learning all day long. Gus loves me and is definitely a mama's boy, but there's a special thing that happens each day around 5:00. When the garage opens and we hear the purr of "The Beast" (Steve's Mustang GT), Gus gets very excited and runs to the baby gate to wait for daddy to come into the house. Each day it's a magical moment when the two are reunited and hug and kiss.
Every child should be so lucky as to know what this is like, and every man should as well. For years we struggled with infertility and dreamed of having a child. Through adoption, we not only get to experience the love of being parents, but my husband gets the joy of having a little boy waiting for him to pick him up, kiss him, hug him and say, "Hey little man! How was your day??" It's priceless.
