Whenever I go through hard times with my two sons, I know that there is light at the end of the tunnel.
I know that whenever they yell at me, talk back to me, ask me the same question over and over again, and don't listen to me, it does get better.
When they fight with each other, I know that they will give each other a hug afterward. Sometimes, Blake will ask his older brother Ben to play with him.
Even though Blake fights me on taking a nap and putting him in his car seat, I know that he will calm down shortly afterward.
I know that it does get better when Ben and Blake chase the cat, grab at him, and lay on him. I see how loving Ben and Blake can be to Gandalf P. Cat when they want to be. I see how Blake can pet the kitty and smile afterward.
When I read to Ben and Blake and they are fully captivated to what is in the book, that makes me happy.
When Ben and Blake are out playing on the playground or at a McDonald's indoor play place and they are smiling, it is better than taking then to the finest theme park in the world. When I see them eating their chicken nuggets at the Chick Fil A and smiling afterward, it is better than me eating a gourmet meal at one of the finest restaurants in the world.
When Ben and Blake are watching their tablets or the TV, they're relaxed and things are better already. They're quiet too.
No wait! The best part of being a daddy: When they say "I love you Daddy."
