Even as a kid I would smile on the inside when I would see a dad with his kids. I wondered what they talked about and what they did together for fun. I imagined what my dad and I would do if he was in my life. Maybe get ice cream. Perhaps see a movie? Even just play catch. What a waste it was for me to throw a perfect spiral and not have a responsible, biological father around to catch it on the other end. To compliment how well-positioned it was. These are reasons why the happiest days of my life are the days I simply watch my husband and son laugh together.

Shots of fathers and kids are some of my favorites.
