She said "thank you for the apple!". She said "thank you for the milk!". I replied, "no problem! glad you enjoyed all of it". THEN she said, with a hug and a smile, "thank you for the "happy", Daddy". I cried. I will remember that forever! :`D

Originally Posted By Inspector 57 I'm so happy for you. How wonderful that you had this moment in which your mutual love was so purely, sincerely, clearly expressed. As others have posted, the "expression" part sometimes gets mucked up as the kid goes through stages. You just have to have patience and faith that the core affection hasn't changed. Little X is fortunate to have a Dad who is as truly loving as you are.
