At 3:30 am my brother called to tell me he sent my dad to the hospital. Not the call you want to get at 3:30 in the morning, but calls you know will come.
You were sleeping in our bed - happy to be between mom and dad in what you call "the big bed."
I know when you get older you won't be "invading" our bed. But at that moment, hearing that - I could look at you sleeping, see the smile on your face, plant a gentle kiss on your cheek and let you know that dads feel this way. We know our time is limited. We love being dads, and when bad things happen - it is a refuge for us.
While dad has been in the hospital I talk to him several times a day. Each time I talk to him he thanks me for calling. I know how he feels.

Thank you for being my son,
Love,
Dad
