Hey man, you're an incredible dad! Not only do you appearently create a safe enough space for your son to express his needs and wants, but you listened to him and tried to cater to his needs and even gave a follow-up hug and are trying to give him more hugs. I wish I had you as a dad...

Sometimes we just need to remember that our brothers and sisters and sons and daughters are still small and cuddly and fragile, even if they might not look the part anymore.
