Speechless

Why are you my Father? Wow! You know kids can ask a lot of questions and, of course, some will catch you off guard…that was the case when Wyatt asked me, why was I his father. It doesn’t seem like that difficult of a question at first but when I tried to come up with a logical answer I was speechless, at least for a few minutes. I couldn’t give the common answer, “Because your Mother and I loved one another and when two people love each other …” That would not have been a good answer in this case so I said, “because God blessed me with you.” Not really the answer he was looking for. I then said that his mother and I decided together we wanted to have a little boy. That’s where the thinking of a four year old chimed in with “ Who is this little boy?” After a short laugh I said, “ It’s you, Wyatt, you’re the little boy and I love you.”
To which Wyatt replied, “ How much do you love me?” To the moon and back, more than anything else in the world.
