So bloody awesome, Im sure he is feeling as good, if not better, for having made contact and having his Dad in his life.
He got to the cafe early and messaged me, I got there and there were two young lads sitting on different tables, they both looked up and one had a beaming smile.
I didn't know how to greet him, instincts took over as we went for a handshake that turned into a hug.
I dropped him off at his house later that day and his mate was leaving as we got there, his introduction said it all "this is my dad" he said proudly and strongly knowing it was the first time in his 25 years he had said that.
There were a few funny moments, I asked if next time he wants me to bring a kite so we can run along together flying it in a park and he suggested that we get ice cream and go watch the latest Minions movie.
A lot of people don't get this opportunity, I am truly grateful and appreciative.
