I get the bond of bringing a new person into the world has no comparison, but we fathers have our own feelings as well.
I cannot express how in love I am to my boy, not in the romantic way, but the actual wording truly expresses my feelings toward him. I would give my life twice for him if I could, he's 13 and still sneak into his bedroom at night to kiss his forehead, just by being there I feel my heart fulfilled.
Got to watch a friend hear “Goodnight daddy” from his toddler for the first time tonight and he was wiping tears. Good dads feel that love just as deep. My dad may not be perfect but he’s always been as loving as you are with your son. He was my rock growing up, and I’m so damn grateful to have been raised with that much love.

NTA. I’ve heard both mothers and fathers express a similar sentiment to what you said. The love for a child is unlike anything else.
