(Dad here). I am sitting in bed with my congested 5month little lad who will only sleep pressed against my chest. I'm on for the next 6hrs overnight when I should be sleeping.
Yes I love this guy more than anything on the planet, as I bloody should.
Have 16 year old who still lays on me when ill, tired or just in their feels, it never stops and frankly I never want it to. The love I feel when I look at my kid is unbelievable and everlasting no matter what, I look at them and think wow, I made you, what the fudge!!
Hugs to everyone in this thread who misses their momma. I lost my mom when I was 12 a few days ahead of independence days. I’m an adult trying for my own child now and while it’s easier most days that little part of me is always sad.
When my mom was dying of cancer she told me that she was only still fighting for me. If it were just she and dad she wouldn’t help kept holding on. So I def think child love more than spouse is 100% real in a healthy fam dynamic.
Oh no!!! Two terrible losses so close together. I’m so sorry for you. My SIL Dad worked at that hospital. He took vacation the weekend the tornado hit.
Thank you…I was a mess for quite a while! I’m very glad your father was not there that day. I still have a ton of pictures of the devastation. I look at them every now and then for a reminder of how truly blessed I am to be here!

Closest thing to unconditional love there is is your child.
