Project 52.6- Motherhood is.... Watching the Bond of Father and Son

The bond between Matthew and Jackson was instant! I remember when we first brought Jackson home, Matthew would sing and rock him when he was fussy. Daddy could always make him laugh with his silly face or funny voices. Daddy was and continues to be his hero!
The distance we are facing as a family has become a bit more obvious for Jackson. In the last few weeks he has become aware that after we put him down on Sunday nights, daddy leaves. Oh the sadness he feels!
However, every Friday afternoon when daddy walks through the front door it's like no time has passed! He runs for his daddy saying, "da-da" as loud as he can! The joy that crosses both of their faces warms the heart of this mommy!! For two days he is in daddy heaven, waking up looking for him and enjoying every ounce of love and attention daddy showers him with!
He is daddy's "little buddy" and anywhere daddy goes you are sure to find him. Looking up with total love and admiration!!
There is nothing like the father son bond!! I'm so blessed to watch this relationship unfold!!
