People see a father playing with his son.
I see the first time I finally got to hold mine.
His mother was seven months pregnant when I got locked up on a parole violation.
By the time I came home, he was already nine months old.
We had already met through FaceTime. I talked to him every chance I got.
But this was different.
This was the first time I could make him laugh.
The first time I could hold him.
The first time I could kiss his forehead, hear his laugh, and just be his dad.
Moments like this are the reason I’ll never take a single day with him for granted.
